On Saturday night, following a 0-0 draw, one team walked off the field at Nippert Stadium happy with the result, while the other was disappointed with how the game ended. Unlike many games, where the home team expects to win and the visitors are content to get out of there with a point, this contest was the other way around.
“It’s difficult,” Columbus Crew SC head coach Caleb Porter said of playing FC Cincinnati. “And it’s a great way to get a draw, for sure. And we’re disappointed that we didn’t find at least one goal to win.
