Orange County SC Shutout in Oakland 2-0
April 19, 2025 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Orange County SC News Release
Orange County SC travelled to the Bay Area for an in-state rivalry match with Oakland Roots SC. The Roots obviously watched Tuesday's OCSC US Open Cup match and adopted a similar strategy, fouling OC early and often. Hammering the visitors in a very physical first half that led to the only 2 goals Oakland would need to grab 3 points on the afternoon.
In the 10' minute, Wolfgang Prentice opened the scoring, capitalizing on an error and open net, for his fourth goal of the season. The home side maintained pressure, and in the 31' minute, Peter Wilson doubled the lead with his first goal of the season, making it 2-0. Despite Orange County SC holding 65% possession, they struggled to convert, managing five shots with only one on target and missing a big chance. Oakland, with just 35% possession, were more clinical, converting two of their three shots on target from four total attempts. At halftime, the score stood at 2-0, with Oakland Roots firmly in command.
The second half saw Orange County SC push for a comeback, but Oakland's defense remained resolute. The Orange & Black increased their shot count to ten but failed to test Oakland's goalkeeper significantly. Oakland Roots, content to protect their lead, focused on counterattacks and maintained discipline at the back. Despite OC's aggressive attack and dominance of possession, Oakland grinded out the result to secure the clean sheet.
OCSC returns to Championship Soccer Stadium on Saturday, April 26th, where they will face Las Vegas Lights FC in the opening round of the 2025 Jägermeister Cup. For more information and tickets, click HERE.
