Richmond Kickers equalize in epic fashion against FC Cincinnati

Defender Hugh Roberts scored in the 94th minute to earn a point on the road

Having not won a match since May 18, the Richmond Kickers faced a tough challenge against FC Cincinnati, who have done well in their debut season. Both teams were eliminated from U.S. Open Cup play by NASL clubs last week, meaning each wanted to bounce back from poor tournament performances with a league win. The match did not disappoint.

Adverse weather kept the record-breaking crowds that have been turning out at Nippert Stadium home. In fact, lightning was reported within 6 miles of the match just 30 seconds after the opening whistle.
