FC Cincinnati went into halftime maintaining their 1-0. In the second half FCC struggled to build upon their lead despite numerous opportunities. After the referees signaled for three minutes of stoppage time the Kickers stepped their level of play. After having several scoring opportunities thwarted the kickers finally got the equalizer in. The equalizing goal came in the final seconds of stoppage time at the 93:06 mark. This left FC Cincinnati with very little time to work with. The match ended with a 1-1 tie and there was apparently some very unprofessional actions and comments made by the Kickers coach according to posts across social media.

@RichmondKickers let's get your coach under control. There is celebrating and then there is yelling obscenities at the 10 and under crowd.
