First Loss of Season Overshadowed by Record Crowd
Written by: Andrew Morgan
Saturday’s match was a milestone point for the club, as it was the highest attendance Oakland County FC history : 707. On the pitch, however, it turned out to be a tough one for the Purple and Gold, as the team was handed their first PLA loss of the season, and the first defeat at home in the Royal Oak era.
The Muskegon Risers (2-1-1) took the 3 points and second place from OCFC (2-1-0), in a 3-0 victory.
Through the first 45′ of the match, the teams were in a deadlock at 0-0. Oakland County FC struggled to get any looks at goal during the first half, and Goalkeeper Zach Walker made save after save during the half to keep OCFC even with the Risers.
