Oh, how often the final result of the beautiful game can come down to just one moment out of ninety minutes. Penn FC went toe-to-toe with the number one team in the East and, for the most part, managed to hold their ground. But one foul in the defensive third late in the second half quickly turned into a game winner for FC Cincinnati. It’s a particularly tough pill to swallow for Penn FC, as that’s now the second time this season that they’ve lost points as the result of a late free kick.
The match had the potential to go off the rails early as Penn FC’s Walter Ramirez ended up doing some unexpected dental work on Nazmi Albadawi.
