Toronto FC II saw their struggles in front of goal continue on Saturday evening, falling by a single goal to FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium in Ohio.
With just three goals through 11 matches, Jason Bent acknowledged prematch that while the side has not had much luck, one needs goals to win games. Looking back over the season, the majority of games (eight of 11) could have been swayed by a single goal. That itself is a sign of progress for a team that conceded by the barrel-full last year, but it does raise the question of how different the season would be looking, and their place in the standings with it, if the occasional stroke of luck, a deflection, or an opponent’s error had fallen their way.
