OAKLAND, Calif. — The 2025 season drew to a close Saturday night for the Lexington Sporting Club men’s squad with a 3-0 defeat to Oakland Roots SC.
Lexington was forced to play catch-up early after Oakland opened the scoring in the 19′ minute. Peter Wilson bagged the goal, clinching the USL Championship’s Golden Boot title with the score.
The possession stats favored LSC throughout the match as the club immediately began throwing numbers forward.
Michael Adedokun was subbed on at halftime and Braudílio Rodrigues came on shortly thereafter, two changes resulting in every attacking option on the pitch for Terry Boss.
As Lexington continued to commit numbers to the attack, it was eventually caught out of possession following a giveaway. Oakland doubled its lead in the 82′ minute, then found a third in the 89′ minute.
The final whistle not only signaled the end of the match, but also the end of the 2025 season for LSC as the loss eliminated the Greens from playoff contention.
Lexington finished the season in ninth place in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs by one point.
