Red cards change games and that was certainly the case as AFC Cleveland fell 2-0 to FC Buffalo at Krenzler Field.
The game was knotted at 0-0 for most of the match until 2 red cards, that’s right 2 red cards, gave Buffalo a serious advantage.
The result was 2 goals scored in an amount of 10 minutes. The first was a penalty kick by FCB midfielder Ian Mort in the 86th minute. The second goal came from another Buffalo midfielder, Ozzy Morales, in stoppage time.
The Royals weren’t without their own opportunities. They had 18 shots and both Tommy Schmitt (7 shots) and Vinny Bell (5 shots) were active in the attack.
There was solid goalkeeping on both sides as Ben Yabrow (10 saves) and Andrew Coughlin (12 saves) were impressive between the posts.
Cleveland looks to rebound from the loss on Friday, June 7th as they host Zanesville Athletic, a team they defeated 3-2 on May 19th.
