Tonight, FC Cincinnati was playing host to the 2016 NPSL National Champions and neighbors to north, AFC Cleveland. Tonight’s match at Nippert Stadium was a second round match up in the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup…


Here comes the march of the supporters groups into The Bailey…




Sprinkles was standing right next to us…

















HERE WE GO!




FC Cincinnati had some good chances in the first half but at the half, it was still 0-0…



SPRINKLES!




Here we go. the second half is under way…










At the end of regulation, it was still 0-0…







And finally in the 115th minute, Djiby headed home to give FC|C a 1-0 lead…






After 120 minutes of regulation, there were two additional minutes to be added on…



And it was finally over! 1-0 to FC Cincinnati…






FC Cincinnati advances to the third round of the 2017 US Open Cup. FC|C will play Louisville City FC at Nippert Stadium, and… the winner of that third round match will host Columbus Crew of the MLS…



FC Cincinnati’s next match at Nippert Stadium is on Saturday, May 20th at 7pm against Bethlehem Steel. See you there! ❤️ ⚽️ 😀

We sat out on our back patio and enjoyed a couple of Finn’s from Urban Artifact…




It was a really beautiful evening. 🙂

On the way home, I stopped at Clifton Market again to get some more of their amazing bacon cheddar burgers to put on the grill this evening…


And you know it’s almost summer when the Bell’s Oberon makes its first appearance…

We put the burgers on the grill and Genifer had some chicken cutlets too…



Those burgers are so delicious…

And it turned out to be a really pretty evening as well…

Whenever I walk passed Dixie Terminal on Fourth Street, I always stop and marvel at the beauty of its grand entry way…

We mowed our yard this evening and then hung out on our back patio…

We ❤️ our backyard. 🙂

IT’S FC CINCINNATI MATCH DAY FOUR! Within the area code of 513, May 13 is a day to celebrate all things Cincinnati. What better way to celebrate 513 Day than watching our beloved FC Cincinnati?!

BECAUSE IT’S FC CINCINNATI MATCH DAY! FC|C was taking on Orlando City B…

We rode our Metro 17 bus over to Clifton early so we could go to Mac’s Pizza Pub before the game to get a bite to eat…




Great stuff!

Apparently, we didn’t get over to Mac’s early enough. We were walking into Nippert just as the teams were making their way out onto the pitch…









HERE WE GO!




When FC Cincinnati received their first yellow card in the 15th minute, we knew it was going to be a long match…

At halftime the score was still all deadlocked at 0-0. The first half was one of the worst officiated halves of soccer I’ve ever seen in my life at any level…


And we’re back underway…





In the 74th minute, the referee awarded Orlando City B a really questionable penalty kick which they converted to make the score 1-0…

There were 5 additional minutes added to the end of this debacle…

OCB added a second goal in 90th+2 minute that looked pretty offside to me…

And FC Cincinnati ended up losing to OCB 2-0. Without a doubt in my mind, it was the worst officiated game ever. It was as if it was the referee’s first match or like he didn’t completely read all the rules, just skimmed them. It was beyond ridiculous.

Hopefully, FC|C will be able to bounce back this Wednesday when they welcome NPSL 2016 National Champion’s AFC Cleveland to Nippert Stadium for a second round match up in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. See you there! 🙂
