OTD 2019: Union win inaugural match against Cincinnati

Just one year ago today, Philadelphia Union made the most of its first trip to the Queen City, knocking off FC Cincinnati by a 2-0 margin in a rainy contest. Below you'll find the club's original match recap from that game.

Marco Fabian returned to the lineup and the scoresheet, and David Accam scored his third goal in two starts as Philadelphia Union earned a second straight shutout win by knocking off FC Cincinnati 2-0.

The Union dominated possession in a rainy night in Ohio, and both teams struggled mightily to create chances early. In the 11th minute, Brenden Aaronson’s corner kick found Marco Fabian at the back post and the Mexican International lashed a shot back across goal with his right foot.
