Sacramento Republic defeat San Antonio FC 1-0 thanks to a late penalty kick from substitute Russell Cicerone in the 85th minute. Danny Vitello made a save and faced only two shots on his way to the clean sheet. The win kept pace with New Mexico who currently stand in first place and ahead of Memphis and Oakland, who played to a draw down the road at Hayward.
