After five years since the Roots debut in 2019 they finally meet the Quakes in a match that counts in the single elimination US Open Cup. The match goes to the San Jose who defeat Oakland 1-0 with a late second half goal from Ousseni Bouda.
The Quakes fielded mostly reserves although Jackson Yueill was a second half substitute while the Roots lineup contained a mix of their main team and reserves. New signee Dom Dwyer was present with the team but did not play.
