FC Cincinnati drops second-straight game in 1-0 loss to Chicago Fire

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - It was a quiet night for FC Cincinnati and their fans on Wednesday, thanks to a 1-0 loss to the Chicago Fire at TQL Stadium.

The Fire came into the match as the second-worst team in the Eastern Conference, while FCC entered as the league’s best team, playing at home in front of a sellout.

FC Cincinnati struggled to find offensive footing throughout the match without last year’s league MVP Luciano Acosta.

Acosta missed the game with an injury. He currently leads FC Cincinnati in scoring, with eleven goals and eighteen assists this season.

Chicago scored the only goal in the sixty-ninth minute, off the foot of Brian Gutierrez.

FC Cincinnati has lost back-to-back games for the first time since June 22.

Their next match will be on the road Saturday, July 20 against the New York Red Bulls.
