FC Cincinnati had seven goals through four games and looked to be on track for a solid start to 2019. Then the Union showed up on a rainy Ohio night and drowned the Cincy attack; it has never recovered. The MLS expansion side's last goal from open play actually came prior to their showdown with the Union -- since then they have scored once, on a penalty kick from Darren Mattocks.
In the four matches since facing the Union, Cincy has taken a total of eight shots on goal. Four of those came against Sporting KC, and they haven't had more than two in a match in three games.
