SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – A goal against the run of play in the first half and a pair of strikes after the interval led to a disappointing 3-0 loss for Sounders FC 2 (5-17-5, 20 points) on Wednesday night away to Sacramento Republic FC (14-7-7, 49 points). S2 fielded a lineup with five first-team players and several Sounders Academy graduates, but the young side was unable to find the back of the net despite carving out a handful of quality chances. The match featured S2 debuts for new signing Jalen Markey and 17-year-old Sounders Academy right back Enrique Montana.
