FC Cincinnati have finally beaten the Columbus Crew in Columbus as they outlast the Crew, 2-1 to win the first round of the Hell is Real derby.

Columbus had not lost at home in over 20 games and that was a big talking point coming into tonight’s game.

helped guide FCC to 3 MASSIVE road points.

By the way, Kevin Kelsy is only 19 years old. What were you doing when you were 19? Were you helping your new club beat their rivals?

Legendary stuff.

UP THE ORANGE AND BLUE!!!

Nothing like winning in your rival’s house! 😤@fccincinnati walks away with the dub in Columbus. // #RivalryWeek by @continentaltire pic.twitter.com/6OgIYF3ws7
