Orange Soccer Club kicked off the new season Saturday with a 4-2 win against Oakland Roots SC at Championship Stadium in Irvine.
It was OCSC’s first opening day win since 2017.
Ryan Doghman opened the scoring in the 28th minute.
In the second half, OCSC wasted little time in increasing its lead. First, Ethan Zubak opened the scoring in the 47th minute, assisted by Cameron Dunbar. Four minutes later, Nico Benalcazar converted a free kick for a 3-0 lead.
After an Oakland Roots penalty kick, Kyle Scott re-established OCSC’s three-goal lead in the first minute of stoppage time, assisted by Tristan Trager.
“We are very pleased to come away with a first win of the season, first home game in front of a very good crowd of fantastic supporters who came to give us their backing tonight,” OCSC coach Danny Stone said. “I think we gave them an exciting game to watch. We’ve obviously scored some good goals in the game, more than anything, we came away with three points and a first win of the season. That was the task that we set out to achieve tonight, and the players have done just that.”
