It was the same old song and dance on Wednesday night.
Columbus Crew SC faced a team that, on paper, it should beat. Once again, the Black & Gold did not.
Knowing Crew SC would control the game no matter what, FC Cincinnati did what any overmatched side would do, and what has worked against Columbus in the past, and put numbers behind the ball in an effort to defend and frustrate the visitors and looked to counter attack.
In other words, FCC bunkered.
“It’s about all they did,” Crew SC captain Wil Trapp said.
