Hugh Roberts’ Late Goal Propels Bethlehem Steel FC to Win over FC Cincinnati

For the second time in three weeks, Bethlehem Steel FC emerged victorious against FC Cincinnati, downing the visitors 1-0, thanks to a late goal from defender Hugh Roberts.

The winning-goal came in the 87th minute, as Roberts connected on a header off a broken corner kick play. Cincinnati did well to defend the initial set piece, but midfielder Adam Najem set up the crucial play with an accurate cross into the box that Roberts headed past a diving Mitch Hildebrandt. The goal was Roberts' first as a member of Bethlehem Steel FC, as was the assist for Najem.
