CINCINNATI – After an unscheduled weekend off, FC Cincinnati picked up right where it left off on Saturday night as another raucous crowd of 16,097 saw the club move into third place in the Eastern Conference with a 2-0 victory against the Harrisburg City Islanders.

One-third of the way into the club’s inaugural season, things are definitely playing out as planned at Nippert Stadium.

“I’d say we’re doing very well,” said Coach John Harkes following the win. “We still have a long way to go. We want to still play our own style but at times we need to fight through things and it shows our character. My players know that they got to push it and they do and that’s the beauty of it.”

In a diverse attacking group, it was Andrew Wiedeman who came to the fore on Saturday night as a spectacular driven finish in the 19th minute proved the difference in the contest. Picking up a pass in space from Patrick McMahon in the right channel, Wiedeman’s shot was perfectly placed into the opposite corner of the net for his third goal of the season.
