Diego Rossi's penalty kick gives Columbus Crew a 1-1 tie against in-state rival FC Cincinnati
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Diego Rossi scored on a penalty kick in the second half as the Columbus Crew rallied for a 1-1 tie against FC Cincinnati in the 16th edition of the 'Hell is Real' matchup between the Ohio rivals.
FC Cincinnati's Kévin Denkey scored in his second straight match. Despite the tie, FC Cincinnati (9-3-2) remains atop the Eastern Conference with 29 points.
It is the third straight tie for the Crew (7-1-6), who are in second place with 27 points.
Denkey opened the scoring in the sixth minute when he put it into the short side of the net. Luca Orellano and Sergio Santos kept it alive in the box before Evander made a bicycle kick pass for the assist to Denkey after Columbus goalkeeper Patrick Schulte was caught out of position.
Denkey is tied for third in MLS with eight goals. He has 10 goals in all competitions and is the fastest FC Cincinnati player to reach double digits since the club joined MLS in 2019.
Rossi converted the penalty kick in the 54th minute after FC Cincinnati's Nick Hagglund was called for a handball inside its own box. It was his team-leading seventh goal of the season and second on a penalty kick.
Cincinnati's Roman Celentano made a diving save in the 73rd minute, extending his left hand to stop a header by Jacen Russell-Rowe.
The Crew had a 9-7 advantage in shots and 6-3 in shots on goal. Celentano made five saves while Schulte had two.

🚨 Cruz Azul decimate Vancouver in one-sided Concacaf Champions Cup final
The ever-present debate surrounding whether MLS is finally ready to usurp Liga MX as the leading top-flight competition in North America was resoundingly answered as Cruz Azul crushed Vancouver Whitecaps in a 5-0 win to seal their Concacaf Champions Cup triumph. Scorers: Rivero 8', Faravelli 28', Sepulveda 37', 50', Bogusz 45' Advertisement Despite all the justifiable praise levied in the direction of Jesper Sørensen's outfit, the hundreds of traveling supporters who made the trip to Mexico City were left stunned long before the full-time whistle. La Máquina club captain Ignacio Rivero gifted the Mexican giants a dream start inside ten minutes after the Whitecaps were caught in possession in their defensive third, with the Uruguayan sliding his effort past Yohei Takaoka after Carlos Rotondi's interception found Rivero with time and space to finish. A thunderous hit from Lorenzo Faravelli doubled the lead on the night before the half-hour mark, with Cruz Azul once again pressing high up to strike Vancouver at the heart of the backline. Leading goal-getter Angel Sepulveda bagged his eighth of the competition in the 37th minute before MLS alumnus Mateusz Bogusz made it four-to-the-good on the stroke of half-time. Advertisement The floodgates remained open when Sepulveda headed home in the 50th minute to make it 5-0 after the Whitecaps gave possession away far too easily once again, giving the Mexican international his ninth of the tournament and 23rd across all competitions. Mercifully, Sánchez's troops failed to find a sixth before the end of full-time before the Cruz Azul manager dropped to his knees in tears on the whistle. Up next for Vancouver is a home clash as they host the Seattle Sounders at BC Place, while Cruz Azul heads off for summer break before returning to action in August. 📸 Hector Vivas - 2025 Getty Images
