In this episode of State of the Republic, we break down Sacramento Republic FC's 2–2 home draw against Phoenix Rising FC in a match that felt like three points were there for the taking. Republic took the lead just before halftime and looked to be in position to finish the job, but Phoenix found the equalizer late in the second half to leave Sacramento with just one point. We talk about the missed opportunity, the key moments, and the frustration of watching a win slip away at home.
We also preview Sacramento's upcoming road trip to Monterey Bay, as Republic heads back to the coast looking to get back in the win column.
Plus, we discuss the departure of Republic defender Chibi, who is moving on to Houston Dynamo 2 of MLS NEXT Pro, and what his move means for Sacramento's defensive group.
