The Columbus Crew dropped a 2-1 result to FC Cincinnati on the road Wednesday night. It was the second straight head-scratching defeat for the Crew and extends the team’s winless run to four games after a remarkable first half of the season. And while Black & Gold fans will be disappointed with the result and the team’s recent play, that was not the major talking point from the match.
In the 14th minute, with Cincinnati controlling the game offensively, goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell was whistled for a foul when coming out to clear a cross and the home side was issued an early penalty kick.
