Big Stories
FC Cincinnati Comeback Win
A goal from Toronto FC II's Raheem Edwards in the first five minutes left FC Cincinnati down early. However, the home side came alive in the second half and scored twice in the span of two minutes to send 19,000+ fans at Nippert Stadium home happy with a 2-1 win. FCC take their nine match unbeaten streak into Louisville this weekend with a chance to avenge a 2-3 loss from the last meeting.
Republic Climbing Higher
Everything's coming up Republic! Paraphrased quotes from The Simpsons aside, Sacramento are in the middle of a seven match unbeaten streak, having outscored opponents 13-6 in that stretch.Cameron Iwasa opened the scoring this time, recording the fastest goal in Republic history just 38 seconds into the match, as the Quails knocked off the visiting RGVFC Toros, 3-2. A win this weekend against Arizona United could see Sacramento move into first place of the Western Conference.
Heating up in Arizona
As we enter the dog days of summer, Arizona United are starting to find their rhythm on the pitch, having won two straight. Goals from Tyler Blackwood and Long Tan were enough for Arizona to post a 2-1 victory over Saint Louis FC this past Saturday. Sitting only three points out of a playoff spot, AZU will travel to Rio Grande Valley with chance to move into the heart of the playoff race.
First Victory of the Brandt Era for the Riverhounds
The Riverhounds have finally grabbed their first win of the now month-old Dave Brandt era. A goal in the 28th minute from Corey Hertzog was enough for Pittsburgh to post their second win of the 2016 season against the lowly FC Montreal. The Riverhounds will look to carry this momentum into their two matches in the next seven days, first against the struggling Rochester Rhinos on Saturday and then an important Keystone Derby match against in-state rival Harrisburg on Monday.
Louisville Extends Unbeaten Run
In a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference final, Louisville City reversed the result, defeating Rochester 1-0. Louisville are riding the league's longest unbeaten streak, currently at 12 matches, including six shutouts. A busy week awaits for the top club in the Eastern Conference, with a match against Toronto FC II on Tuesday and the season's second River Cities Cup match against FC Cincinnati on Saturday.
San Antonio FC Snap Winless Streak
Winless in their last six matches - and goaless in three of those - San Antonio FC were looking to turn around their recent misfortunes against Colorado Springs this past week. A pair of first half goals did just that, as SAFC defeated the visiting Switchbacks, 2-1. With a win this week against Orange County, San Antonio could find themselves back in the heart of the Western Conference playoff race.
