Daily News | Union held to 1-1 tie by FC Cincinnati after squandering late chances
It was a nice coincidence that one of Philadelphia’s World Cup bid ambassadors got the night’s first goal.
Cincinnati spent much of the first half whacking José Andrés Martínez all over the field. He was officially fouled three times in the half, and knocked over a few times more. It came to a head just before the half-hour mark, when he had to stay down for a while. The hit that Kai Wagner took from Cincinnati’s Nick Hagglund in the 62nd minute was one of the most brutal of the night. Hagglund landed left-foot studs into the top of Wagner’s right foot, and the yellow card he earned from referee Timothy Ford was a worthy punishment. If Hagglund’s studs were any higher, he might have earned a red card.
After Cory Burke came in for Mikael Uhre in the 63rd minute, the only true attacking option left on the bench was reserve forward Chris Donovan, who was promoted from the reserve team to the top squad the day before the game.
