60 seconds to save a season

Oakland Roots don't do things the easy way. Up 3-1 with 20 minutes to go in a must win game, everything looked golden. But a goal and then a last minute equalizer followed by a red card left them starting at oblivion. To go out like that, after all they'd been through this season would've been a sickening blow. 

But you count this team out at your peril. 

They fought back and when they earned a penalty in the last seconds of injury time Jeremy Bokila stepped up . . . and earned his place in the team's history. 

The Roots season goes on, they have one more chance to earn a playoff spot. If they beat Sporting Kansas City II and the Los Angeles Galaxy II draw or lose to San Diego Loyal then the Roots will be playoff bound.
