This Week 5-12-25

Only one match covered between Northern California rivals and the home team continues to dominate.  The Quakes return to league play with a mid-week match at home against Miami with Lionel Messi and his former Barcelona and Argentina crew before returning on the road to face the New England Revolution on Saturday.  The next Open Cup match will be at home against Portland on May 20.

The Roots finally win against San Antonio and our friends at Soccer Bay Area and The Roots Blog have their reports on the match.

Bay FC loses at Kansas City in a Mother’s Day matinee with Penelope Hocking accounting for the lone goal.  Next up is a home match against Angel City.

More Angel City news with former Bay FC player Savy King, who suffered a very scary moment in Friday’s match against Utah Royals–which marked the return another Bay FC alum Alex Loera after suffering a torn ACL last year.  We wish the best of health for both.
