Next Episode: Oakland Roots 2021 season review (Part One)

The mission was simple. For Oakland Roots to reach the playoffs they had to beat Sporting Kansas City II and hope that LA Galaxy II lost or drew against San Diego Loyal.

At the start of the season the Roots would've been more than happy to reach the playoffs in their debut USL Championship campaign. But after turning their season around after a horrendous start it would have been a proper kick in the teeth to lose it at the last.

In wasn't in their own hands but they knew what they had to do. All the Roots could do was beat Kansas and hope Los Dos didn't emulate their result.

Oakland Roots had to beat LA, without facing them. Could they do it?

We caught up with Roots head coach Jordan Ferrell to hear his thoughts on what was an incredible game and one of the days that will go down in Roots folklore.
