FC Cincinnati

Cincinnati manager Pat Noonan will be hoping the team gets back to their best. They have not been at their very best form and their performances in the CONCACAF Champions League proved that.

New York City FC completed a comeback against Toronto FC last weekend to win the game 2-1. They fell behind in just 7 minutes and Santiago Rodriguez equalized in the 24th minute. And in the 64th minute Kevin O’Toole scored the winning goal to send them ahead.
