Malacia is not in training but Echenique is. https://t.co/YPDMc98mkr

#FCCincy coach Pat Noonan said Tyrell Malacia's halftime exit Wednesday was unfortunately due to an ankle issue. His availability is TBD. Ender Echenique has some final boxes to check today but if all goes well, he will be available tomorrow at D.C. United.

Second half about to start and FC Cincinnati make one change before the restart.

Bryan Ramirez comes on for Tyrell Malacia.

Ref blows his whistle and we are back underway.

Looks like Bryan Ramirez will be replacing Tyrell Malacia to start the second half. #FCCincy

79' - Ayoub Jabbari in for Pavel Bucha, Dado Valenzuela in for Nick Hagglund. Back four or Tyrell Malacia a CB?

It just feels like, cosmically, FC Cincinnati is working up a sisyphean hill.

Tyrell Malacia does well to get into the box for an opportunity, and he swings and misses on the attempt.

They do well to get there, and the rock rolls back down the hill.#AllForCIncy #CINvCLB

It was about as disastrous of a start as you could imagine. #FCCincy loses their middle CB just 15 minutes in, then gives up the goal with LB Tyrell Malacia off the field waiting to return following an injury they didn't even stop play for. Will see who they respond 2nd half. https://t.co/W7Psxhx4us

Just unbelievably bad luck, as while Malacia is off the field being checked on, Columbus Crew score on a corner kick.

Tapia is left unmarked at the far post, which isn't good regardless, but still an ugly bit of set piece action...and FCC are down now.

1-0, 22'#AllForCincy https://t.co/Mx1bfc6Fsd

22' - And Columbus Crew scores off the corner. Gonzalo Tapia wide open at the back post, puts it in for Columbus while Tyrell Malacia was waiting to come back in. #FCCincy down 1-0 in #HellisReal.
