Sac Republic’s game against Orange County SC has a scheduled makeup date for Sept. 9 after the game was postponed on July 29 due to a positive COVID-19 test from a previous opponent.

Republic FC played LA Galaxy ll on July 25 and Orange County last played Phoenix Rising FC on the same day. Galaxy II was also supposed to play that night against San Diego Loyal SC, but their game was also postponed.

Sacramento will play next on the road against Portland Timbers 2 on Sept. 10. The team is coming off a 2-1 comeback win against the same Timbers 2 team last Saturday.
