During their three seasons in the USL Eastern Conference, FC Cincinnati had plenty of chances to battle opponents from the Keystone State. The Pittsburgh Riverhounds, Harrisburg City Islanders/Penn FC and Bethlehem Steel took a combined 10 trips to face Cincy in Nippert Stadium between 2016 and 2018 and none of them ever returned home with three points.
That means that the Union’s 2-0 victory over FC Cincinnati last Saturday made them the first Pennsylvania team to gain a victory at Nippert Stadium.
The Pittsburgh Riverhounds made four combined trips to face FC Cincinnati, including twice in 2018, but the best they could do was draw twice at Nippert.
