Out to maintain their stingy defensive ways, FC Cincinnati look for a fourth straight regular-season shutout Tuesday when they face the Chicago Fire.
FC Cincinnati (2-1-3) started off the season in rough fashion with three losses in which they shipped nine goals, capped by a 4-0 defeat to Columbus to open group play in the MLS Is Back Tournament. But something clicked for first-year coach Jaap Stam and his club, and the results have been impressive for the second-year club.
The Orange-and-Blue have gone 2-0-3 in their last five contests when counting their loss to Portland on penalties in Orlando, and that 1-1 draw also represents the lone goal allowed in those 450 minutes.
