Koke Vegas and Rhode Island FC will host Jared Mazzola and Sacramento Republic on Saturday night as USL Championship play continues.
Rhode Island FC will look to build on momentum from a dramatic 2–1 stoppage-time win over North Carolina FC last weekend as they host Sacramento Republic FC on Saturday night. Albert Dikwa “Chico” opened the scoring before Maxi Rodríguez put in the game winner. Already a key figure in 2025 with goals in league, cup and Open Cup play, Rodríguez slotted the decisive penalty in the dying moments of the match to mark RIFC’s first multi-goal performance at their new Centreville Bank Stadium, a 10,500-seat venue that has quickly become a selling point for fans to visit.
