FC Cincinnati advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a shootout win at New York Red Bulls on Saturday but not without cost, as Obinna Nwobodo and Dom Badji picked up injuries and Matt Miazga's status is in question because of yellow card accumulation suspension and an alleged post-game incident with the officials.
Miazga is accused of entering of the officials' locker room after the game, though there is contradictory information regarding the incident. MLS is investigating.
In this episode, Laurel and Eric discuss the win Saturday and the drama surrounding it, plus we look ahead briefly as the next opponent was decided during recording of the podcast. FCC will be playing a rematch of last year's conference semifinal against the Philadelphia Union, this time at TQL Stadium on Nov. 25 or 26.
Also hear audio from Pat Noonan's postgame press conference, including the Quote of the Week, and a Player Spotlight on Aaron Boupendza, an Olimpico segment on a couple off-brand topics and reader questions in the mailbag.
