Lexington SC made the most of their chances to beat Oakland Roots SC 2-0 in the USL Championship. Despite having just 41% of the ball and being outpassed, they took their opportunities when it mattered most.
Phillip Goodrum opened the scoring in the 50th minute after a pass from Nicolas Firmino. Goodrum then turned provider 13 minutes later, setting up Blaine Ferri to make it 2-0 in the 63rd minute. Oakland had three shots on target but could not find a way past the home goalkeeper.
The difference was in the big chances: Lexington created three and scored two, while Oakland created none. The visitors had 59% possession and more accurate passes, but lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
