Two Teams

The last week of June for FC Cincinnati soccer was one that showcased what the team can look like when they play up to their abilities and what they look like when they play down to lower competition teams. A theme throughout FC Cincinnati’s season so far has been one where the team can be prepared, focused and come out of a game with a 4-0 score. The other half of that theme for FC Cincinnati is one where they can look tired, out-coached and not capitalize on the scoring chances when they happen.

On June 26th, the winless Toronto FC II hosted FC Cincinnati soccer. The game saw FC Cincinnati use their talented roster to grab hold of a 3-1 lead going in at halftime. Keeping to the theme of the season, FC Cincinnati let their lead slip away with a goal in the 70th minute and another in the 75th minute. The second half of the game showed FC Cincinnati get tired, appear to be outcoached and settle for one point against an inferior team.

FC Cincinnati soccer missed out on an opportunity to grab three points from a team still searching for their first win of the season. FC Cincinnati is atop their conference but will need to be able to execute and finish a game when three points are on the line. The Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Louisville City FC are teams that will look to seize three points on every chance they can. Both teams will be looking to make up ground in the eastern conference by giving everything they have for each game and FC Cincinnati needs to have the same mindset to stay in first place.
