Where do single page applications fail WCAG2?

Hi all,

I'm looking at a single-page application which, when I press the Login
button, loads a whole new set of main content, essentially a new page,
without alerting screenreader users or moving the focus to somewhere
appropriate.

I understand what's wrong with this scenario and how to fix it, but I
can't find where it fails under WCAG2. Someone please tell me it does
fail!

I'd really appreciate any concrete info on which checkpoint(s) I
should fail this under.

Thanks as always, Lynn
