This game will be remembered for one thing: Romeo Parkes' shocking attack on Karl Ouimette. It happened as the match was winding down, just a question of what sort of injury time would be added and then everyone could get on with their respective Saturday nights. But Parkes kicked Ouimette in the back with what looked like unrestrained ferocity, the defender lay motionless on the turf until he was stretchered off, and the preceding 88 minutes were rendered irrelevant.
Reaction to the incident has been swift, both in the media, from fans and observers, and from official channels: Parkes was suspended by USL and fired by Pittsburgh in less time than it took to produce this match report.
