FC Cincinnati striker to be transfer to Europe….

FC Cincinnati battle to final minute despite misfortune in loss to New England Revolution

 

 

CINCINNATI – Under tormentous circumstances with the heat just shy of the club record at kickoff and coming off an emotionally and physically taxing match on Wednesday, FC Cincinnati drew up all the courage and grit they could muster and battled New England Revolution to the final minute, but ultimately fell as the obstacles became too great.

 

 

New England, the fresher of the two sides having not played a midweek game heading into this weekend’s affair, got on the board first with a strike from the top of the box by Revs DP forward Giacomo Vrioni that went uncontested after an initial clearance. FCC goalkeeper Roman Celentano dived to his right to make the save but the low shot was just out of reach, giving the visitors the initial lead in the 21

 

minute.

With the physical advantage clear in the first half-hour of play and New England hemming in The Orange and Blue for most of that run, a hydration break in the 30th minute of play gave FCC the opportunity to reorganize and revitalize themselves and came out of the short break swinging.

 

 

The first jab from the FCC offense came from a surprising source when defensive midfielder Obinna Nwobodo volleyed a shot from just beyond the box that forced Revs goalkeeper Aljaz Ivacic to make a world class save to punch away. A second came when Luca Orellano’s cut in shot beat the keeper but rolled just wide. A third when Pavel Bucha cleaned up a corner kick but his shot missed just wide to the left of the keeper.
