Detroit City FC played to a scoreless draw with El Paso Locomotive FC in a United Soccer League Championship match at El Paso, Texas, on Saturday night.

Eric Calvillo of El Paso had the best scoring opportunity of the first half, taking a pass 30 feet in front of the Detroit net and rifling a shot just over the crossbar.

Le Rouge created few real scoring opportunities in the match, with perhaps its best coming in the 74th minute when Connor Rutz received a pass in front of the net from Maxi Rodriguez but failed to get a foot on it on his first attempt, and had his redirect blocked by El Paso keeper Ramón Pasquel when he finally reached it.

The point left Detroit at 10-8-9, in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of Indy Eleven in the race for a home playoff match. Indy Eleven has one game in hand over DCFC.

The outcome of Saturday’s match had to come as a disappointment to DCFC, as the draw left El Paso at 5-15-6, in last place in the Western Conference and with the second-worst record in the league.

Detroit City will host New Mexico United at 7 p.m. next Saturday.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.

The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.

The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.

Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.

“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”

The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.

“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
