It was a beautiful night Staurday where 19,112 people showed up to watch FC Cincinnati take down Toronto FC II by a score of 2-1. The game didn’t start off well for the good guys when TFC2’s Raheem Edwards had an impressive personal effort putting the away team up 1-0 in the 4th minute. FCC came roaring back with a dominating second half display culminating in 2 goals in 2 minutes behind efforts from Harrison Delbridge and Eric Stevenson. With the win, FCC extends their unbeaten streak to 9 games in USL play.
This week, FC Cincinnati heads down stream to take on first place Louisville City FC in the 2nd match of the Dirty River Derby. They will look to exact revenge from their first match-up after it didn’t go FC Cincinnati’s way. The club suffered a 3-2 loss on April 16th after a first half hat trick by LCFC forward Chandler Hoffman.
