Matthew Dennehy I was at a Reds game recently and there were double the fans for the other team than the Reds at GABP. Without big name opponents I'm pretty sure FCC could beat the Reds average attendance if they had the new stadium planned for them
This was my first ever soccer game ive been to and what a first game it was. the crowd was amazing and im not usually one to scream and everything at sporting events(just not really my style) but i was getting into it like crazy. I really cant wait to go to more games now.
who even mentioned us winning a world cup? and to say the USA will never win a world cup is just plain idiotic. If you can honestly say that the USA will never produce a good team especially with the sport growing like it is in the US... you can go ahead and check yourself into a mental ward. smh
I'm a Fire fan and this just felt good for some reason. I love Cincinnati as a club and can't wait for them to join the MLS. This is going to be an awesome place to play and the deserve it 100%. Best of luck going on in the USOC!
With Mitch Hildebrandt retiring from soccer today, it is fitting this came up on my "Recommended for you" videos. No matter what your feelings of Hildebrandt were, at least on one night, he stood tallest of anyone!! So many great plays and players that night, and The Bailey simply electric for 120+, the awesome Aussie Harrison Delbridge goes all 120 then puts in a PK, then points to my section 135, then "Mitch Says No!" comes to true form in stopping the last PK for the advance! Now FC Cincinnati has advanced to MLS, I tip my hat to Hildebrandt for being a massive part of this success! #COYFCC!!
It was an honor to be in the Bailey that night! I dovetailed my trip to Vegas a day so I can come to this match..... it was the loudest I ever heard Nippert Stadium for anything! I got drunk, I got hoarse, I was sleep deprived because I said screw it and stayed up all night to get the early flight to Nevada... but every bit of torture I put my body through that night was worth it! FC Cincinnati is going through the growing pains in their first year in MLS, but we will regain the glory and we will regain it soon!!!! COYFCC! Cincy Til I Die!
One of the best matches ive seen in a long time, and that goalkeeper, is better than 80% of goalkeepers in MLS XD, may be he is good enough to even go play for the Liga MX, or the 2nd division tier of la liga
2nd Division tier of La Liga?? Seriously there are only like 4 teams worth a crap in first division La Liga. Also, MLS is better than broke ass Liga MX and it will become more and more apparent to all of you idiots.
Calm down, ok, first off who are the idiots, specifically, second, Liga MX is better when it comes to gameplay quality, quality of the players, the number of goals scored per match, and a better overall than MLS's best team rosters. Liga MX has won a significant majority of Concacaf Champions League finals, nowaday reaching, the knockout stage is as easy as it can get, because of easy teams from Central America that are in the groups' stage, so reaching a final, wouldn't be the same as winning it. I can tell you are a new fan of the sport, since you are saying that only 4 teams are worth something in La Liga, an MLS team or the USMNT soccer team, would be fighting for relegation IF THEY WERE IN SAID LEAGUE and you know it, why do you think average or old players play in the MLS, because it is an easier style and level of playing than that in Europe. Lastly, I do hope that MLS becomes the Major League it was meant to become since the beginning, all that we can do, is try to help younger generations, to love the sport, and after that the rest would be history, FC Dallas is better than all the other hoe ass teams in the MLS. FC..DALLAS...FC...DALLAS!!!
Poor Mitch. He's wasting away in Altanta and is such a talented goalie. I remember checking on his status back in late June and he still was riding the pine.
He did what he had to do and took the sure thing. He wasn't getting any younger and there was no guarantee that FC Cincy would be chosen for MLS. Hopefully he'll get a chance once Guzan retires...
Chicago is my team and all but I got to give it to Cincinnatis goal keeper he had an amazing night. This also goes to show that one man dose not make a team, Chicago has a long way to go
What a goalkeeping performance by Hildebrandt, good lord. The only penalty he didn't stop was from goddam *Bastian Schweinsteiger*. Insane to beat a team with a World Cup winner on it.
FCC doesn’t own the stadium or the grounds, it belongs to the University of Cincinnati. He left to Atlanta after this year. Our stadium will be finished in May this year, probably won’t have a statue but will be remembered as a vital part of our history.
That FCC disalowed goal was exquisite, the set up and the finish. That area between Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati are hungry for Soccer. It's weird that Columbus seems not that interested. let's see
Give that GK a MF RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!! and bring Cincinnati to the MLS... LIke wow.. thats how you play tooth and nail... my dad told me to watch the highlights for this very reason... from a tulsa roughnecks fan.. great job.. #love the underdogs..
Joshua Brown I offered to buy him a beer when they walked around the outside of the pitch and thanked the fans, he declined and told me it was just another day at the office.
The way I'm looking at this season, cicinati might make it to quarter finals with the help of their fan cause u can't beat them n beat their huge cathedral at same time
What I've noticed is that MLS fans doesn't seem to care about Open Cup matches as much as othe league fans, most mls stadiums that are usually full during an MLS game areless crowded during Open cup games.
they are actually USL which is the second division. USL and NASL are both considered Division 2. They have more fans because the Cincinnati area is a hot bed for soccer and has been hungry for a real professional soccer team for a while.
USL is 2nd division. It's their 2nd year in existence and they've put in a bid to enter MLS. Now it's up to the MLS execs to grant their expansion into the league.
It makes me happy to see a lower division side with that sort of atmosphere... what a crowd!
Oscar Guevara never discredit the people of Cincinnati we literally breath our sports teams! Yes... even the Reds😂
Matthew Dennehy I was at a Reds game recently and there were double the fans for the other team than the Reds at GABP. Without big name opponents I'm pretty sure FCC could beat the Reds average attendance if they had the new stadium planned for them
Stephen Banks I'm assuming you went to a cubs game?😂
Stephen Banks we do three years in a row
Just what the US Open Cup should look like. Special crowd, special match. A great day for soccer in the United States.
This was my first ever soccer game ive been to and what a first game it was. the crowd was amazing and im not usually one to scream and everything at sporting events(just not really my style) but i was getting into it like crazy. I really cant wait to go to more games now.
Jarhead402011 glad you enjoyed it man👍 also glad to see how the sport is growing all over the country
Vladislav Dokic lol chill out bro
who even mentioned us winning a world cup? and to say the USA will never win a world cup is just plain idiotic. If you can honestly say that the USA will never produce a good team especially with the sport growing like it is in the US... you can go ahead and check yourself into a mental ward. smh
Vladislav Dokic lol watch it happen tho
2026 WILL BE OURS! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
I'm a Fire fan and this just felt good for some reason. I love Cincinnati as a club and can't wait for them to join the MLS. This is going to be an awesome place to play and the deserve it 100%. Best of luck going on in the USOC!
Colin Bish thx from an FCC fan
There GK is unreal
J S O yeah he didn't shut down scrubs he saved pens from some class players
their*
J S O MITCH SAYS NOOOOO!
Mitch says no
That is one of the most entertaining 0-0 games I've ever seen, plus all of the extra time and pk fun
Matthew Marshall agreed
this is awesome. loudest ive heard a domestic club soccer game in u.s.
You talking on video or in person? If you're talking on video, it was so much louder in person.
parker pewitt you should see Atlanta United. Shit gets louuuuudddddd
Atlanta, Portland, Seattle, Toronto, and Atlanta can all get that loud. But this was somethin special.
parker pewitt Dude, see Orlando. It's an insane atmosphere.
i was there best game ever
wow! FCC is a force to be reckoned with give them an MLS bid!
SuperHamrick94 they put a bid up so we will see
SuperHamrick94 Agreed and fast
WE FUCKING GOT THE BID LETS GOOOO
Just rewatched this video and it still gives me goosebumps! Greatest sporting event I’ve ever been to! Loved it so much!
Still never gets old rewatching these highlights, was am amazing game to be at!
GET THIS TEAM IN MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER!
just got accepted 2 days ago #wecomin'
How's this comment feel now?
Such a beautiful story told in this game. Way to go Cincinnati! Hella respect from a San Jose Earthquakes fan.
Damn, those are some insane supporters.
Those goalkeepers was insane.
Dang, one of the most exciting games I've seen in a while! Stadium is also much better than many MLS stadiums, the Fire for example.
I was there Gandalf. I was there 3,000 years ago.
Best sporting event that I have ever been to

It'll be a crime if they don't get in to mls
I totally agree, i'm a fire fan, and I hope they get to the final of the Open cup now
Man City need that keeper bruh
Heavybomber why the match was boring.
marilyn mcvay I'd comment but you aren't smart enough to use proper punctuation so I don't understand what you're saying. How does it feel to be dumb?
Kyle Hurd how does it feel to not be in the MLS? How does it feel to be dominated by a shit MLS side?
Wow, their goal keeper was amazing! He's better than most in the MLS.! Great atmosphere too!
They deserved the win, well done! Hope to see this club in the MLS sometime soon (Along with Nashville I hope!).
Peter Newsom and san diego
Peter Newsom Completely agreed! I live in Nashville and I can see all the support and love for soccer here
I remember turning this game and being like "whatever I'll watch it." Best domestic soccer game between clubs I've ever seen.
Possibly one of the greatest keeper displays I've ever seen.
It was an honor to be in the Bailey that night!
I dovetailed my trip to Vegas a day so I can come to this match..... it was the loudest I ever heard Nippert Stadium for anything! I got drunk, I got hoarse, I was sleep deprived because I said screw it and stayed up all night to get the early flight to Nevada... but every bit of torture I put my body through that night was worth it!
FC Cincinnati is going through the growing pains in their first year in MLS, but we will regain the glory and we will regain it soon!!!!
COYFCC! Cincy Til I Die!
It still.... still never gets old watching this video
Cincinnati have a better atmosphere then real salt lake. Lmfao...
CaporalPascal actually have of the teams tbh. Red Bulls, Nycfc, Fc Dallas etc
CaporalPascal thats cause cincy can play some defense lmao
CaporalPascal and west ham
Heavybomber been to Upton Park on a midweek game have you? COYI
Yeah, Salt Lake's atmosphere is almost as bad as West Ham
This was a magical game to be at it, glad I did not miss it !
Mitch for US team
This was one of the top 5 games I have ever watched
This team has more fans than Columbus Crew lol
if there was any justice in the world, this team would be promoted and crew relegated
Charles Fuchs FCC already proved that they are better than the Crew in the previous round
SO GOOD! Especially having a goal incorrectly ruled offside, FCC deserved to move on, kudos to them and their fans.
WHAT A BEAST OF A KEEPER GHEEEEEZ
FCC goalie has the reflexes of a bloody fly, fantastic keeping and a match winner.
One of the best matches ive seen in a long time, and that goalkeeper, is better than 80% of goalkeepers in MLS XD, may be he is good enough to even go play for the Liga MX, or the 2nd division tier of la liga

Ball don't lie. My man definitely onside for that FCC goal in ET.
Charles Fuchs RT who cares we got the dub tho
That Cincy goalkeeper picked a good night to have the game of his life
FC Cincinnati GK is a beast ! Way better than Guzan lol
Ronaldo 7 absolutely
The ironic thing about this statement is that they are now teammates lol
beautiful atmosphere and football, from an orlando fan i truly believe Cincinnati deserve an MLS club.
you predicted that one perfectly man!
I hope they win the Cup!
Poor Mitch. He's wasting away in Altanta and is such a talented goalie. I remember checking on his status back in late June and he still was riding the pine.
He did what he had to do and took the sure thing. He wasn't getting any younger and there was no guarantee that FC Cincy would be chosen for MLS. Hopefully he'll get a chance once Guzan retires...
Chicago is my team and all I have to say is to get that GK in the MLS!
Damn that wasn’t even offside
Amazing performances of both goalies!
That was a great crowd 👍
Best goalkeeper ever
This game was so hyped
Absolute madness i love it
Chicago is my team and all but I got to give it to Cincinnatis goal keeper he had an amazing night. This also goes to show that one man dose not make a team, Chicago has a long way to go
flyinfighter501 that one man wasn't playing so Chicago didn't win even tho they dominated the game to the point that it was so boring.
marilyn mcvay dominated, yet lost.
Haha you're a genius.
flyinfighter501 that one man that makes the team didn't play and left chicago so Chicago is fucked because david accam made the team work
Mitch says NO! Mitch says NO
Bruh FCC had Scott Sterling in goal
What a goalkeeping performance by Hildebrandt, good lord. The only penalty he didn't stop was from goddam *Bastian Schweinsteiger*. Insane to beat a team with a World Cup winner on it.
Wow. It was like a movie.
3 years later, i need to know if there has been a statue of the goalkeeper installed outside the stadium
FCC doesn’t own the stadium or the grounds, it belongs to the University of Cincinnati. He left to Atlanta after this year. Our stadium will be finished in May this year, probably won’t have a statue but will be remembered as a vital part of our history.
2 years on, that was a handball and weideman was onside.
What. A. Game.
Has to be a crime if FC Cincinnati don't get to MLS.
ALL Us Open cup matches should be at lower division stadiums, this is their tournament
That FCC disalowed goal was exquisite, the set up and the finish.
That area between Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati are hungry for Soccer. It's weird that Columbus seems not that interested. let's see
the gks landing at 3:35 looked like it should've been an injury lol good thing he's ok
FC Cincinnati MUST BE in MLS' next expansion. Believe it!!!!
For being in the USL, this team is crazy. MLS is the least they deserve
How is this team not in the MLS is beyond a reason
That goal was not offsides. Close but he was on. They also should've gotten a penalty for a handball
I was there at that game!
hildebrant needs to get called up for the US national team that guy is amazing
Great game
why is the Cincinnati goalie playing in lower division?
Joseph Studley he won't for long
Jonny Test yeah, once they're in the MLS Mitch will be there.
"To be fair, no Cincinnati players were protesting." *Half of FC Cincinnati's hands went up.
3Speedboy most of the stadium hand their hands up I was watching at home and was screaming
can't wait for san diego nasl to start next year and then MLS
Give that GK a MF RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!! and bring Cincinnati to the MLS... LIke wow.. thats how you play tooth and nail... my dad told me to watch the highlights for this very reason... from a tulsa roughnecks fan.. great job.. #love the underdogs..
Joshua Brown I offered to buy him a beer when they walked around the outside of the pitch and thanked the fans, he declined and told me it was just another day at the office.
new MLS team
The only argument the that is needed for promotion/ relegation
Pro/rel for USA
too
Just not 5 teams each from 2 or 3 Metropolitan Statistical Areas. 😆
In the top flight league I mean.
Don't laugh, it can happen.
who should Cincy replace
MAN City needs this keeper ASAP. Amazing!
It was a goalkeepers game! But what about Mitch Hildebrandt I'm a MNUFC yea roast me I know, but Hildebrandt used to play for us!
Will Hanson you guys should have kept him lol
Apparently keeper of the year in USL and if this game is anything to go by... how is he not in MLS???
Cincinnati+MLS
That goalkeeper tho!!
The way I'm looking at this season, cicinati might make it to quarter finals with the help of their fan cause u can't beat them n beat their huge cathedral at same time
wohw! what a game!
came here for josu
What I've noticed is that MLS fans doesn't seem to care about Open Cup matches as much as othe league fans, most mls stadiums that are usually full during an MLS game areless crowded during Open cup games.
oc2k13 ikr if only they would make it a priority like the FA Cup in England
Cincy on MLS? Fast please
Jesus that field 😂
Mitch says no!!!!!!
He wasn't offsides 😔
Jesus Christ
FCC is in the lowest soccer division and they managed to have more fans than New England, Real Salt Lake, Houston, etc.
Like wtf
Also, 4:43
give #2 an ankle brace
they are actually USL which is the second division. USL and NASL are both considered Division 2. They have more fans because the Cincinnati area is a hot bed for soccer and has been hungry for a real professional soccer team for a while.
USL is 2nd division. It's their 2nd year in existence and they've put in a bid to enter MLS. Now it's up to the MLS execs to grant their expansion into the league.
They average more fans than Columbus😂😂😂😂
Brian Robbins We've been hungry for a halfway decent Professional Sports team of any kind since the wire to wire Reds in 1990
What’s your fave player mine is jimmy McLaughlin
Wow!!!
Someone give Hildebrandt a call-up.
Mitch says nooooooooo
I came here only for Josu ♡♡
I think FC Cincinnati was on side there, so they deserve the win for sure. I'm glad the Rowdies beat em though. #MLS2StPete
Wow 👏👏👏👏
FC Cincinnati wears uniforms similar to the USMNT's 2014 pizza deliveryman shirts.
FC Cincinnati diserve to MLS.....
#MLS2CINCY
Why didn’t they show his reaction when he found out it was “offside”
fcc just buy your way to MLS already
GG
FCC Made it! MLS Baby!
