In their previous game, the manager J. Ferrell led his Oakland Roots to a defeat in the USL Championship match away at Orange County.

The defeat against Orange County was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by M. Kuningas).

Ahead of that match, Oakland won a home game hosting San Diego Loyal (2-1).
