Reno 1868 FC defeated Tacoma Defiance 2-1 last Saturday in their first home match since the USL season restart. The win was powered by forward Benji Kikanovic’s strong performance, which included his first professional goal. In goal, rookie goalkeeper Eric De La Cerda recorded seven saves, tied for the second most in a single game in club history. The win, Reno’s third straight, sees the team leading Group A with a 4-1-0 overall record.
Reno will return to action at home on Wednesday, August 12, in a rivalry game against Sacramento Republic FC. Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.
