The New England Revolution played against FC Cincinnati last week and they lost 2-1. They conceded 2 quick goals in the 52nd and 54th minutes before Giacomo Vrioni pulled one goal back in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately they couldn't get a second goal until the end of the game. And according to stats, they had 62% possession and they registered 7 shots on target. They also took 7 corner kicks and created 3 big chances and hit the woodwork twice during the game.

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire showed a lot of character in the game against CF Montreal last week. They conceded from the spot twice in the 7th and 12th minutes before Maren Haile-Selassie pulled one goal back on the brink of halftime. And in the 70th minute, they conceded the third goal and 12 minutes later, CF Montreal lost a player to a red card and Chicago Fire took the game by storm after that. Brian Gutierrez, Hugo Cuypers and Kellyn Acosta all scored to complete the comeback for Chicago Fire. While the red card was the turning point, Chicago fire deserved a lot of credit for their response so late in the game.
