Before their teams did battle at Louisville Slugger Field, the largest supporters groups for Louisville City FC (The Coopers) and FC Cincinnati (The Pride) staged a game of their own Saturday.
The Coopers pulled out a 1-0 victory on a steamy afternoon, keeping the Plastic Cup — their alternative to the River Cities Cup — on the right side of the Ohio River.
“It’s nice to get a win, but I don’t think anybody would have cared whether we won or lost,” said The Coopers’ Taylor Sorrels. “It was just good to get out and sweat a little bit — have a good time with the FC Cincy guys, the Pride — and have fun playing with these guys.”
