Rochester NY FC Academy and Cleveland SC played out a goalless draw in NPSL action on Wednesday, with neither side able to find a breakthrough across 90 minutes.
The first half offered little in the way of major incidents. Rochester's D. Carmignani picked up the game's first booking in the 35th minute, setting the tone for what became an increasingly fractious affair. Both teams went into the break level and without a shot finding the back of the net.
Cleveland's N. Baumslag was cautioned five minutes into the second half, and the match continued to simmer without producing a decisive moment. Rochester's J. Jenkins followed into the referee's notebook in the 82nd minute, before teammate O. Mitchell was also yellow-carded in the 90th minute — the home side collecting three of the game's four bookings as frustration appeared to mount late on.
Four cautions and zero goals told the story of a match that neither team did enough to win. Rochester NY FC Academy and Cleveland SC each take a point, a result that is unlikely to satisfy either side as the NPSL season progresses.
