CINCINNATI, Ohio (Sept. 2, 2020) - Chicago Fire FC (2-5-2, 8 points) earned a hard-fought point on the road, playing FC Cincinnati (2-4-3, 9 points) to a scoreless draw at Nippert Stadium on Wednesday night.
Fire goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth, who missed the last game due to injury, earned Heineken Man of the Match honors. He recorded three saves, including one in the first minute of play and two from close range. Shuttleworth recorded his second shutout with the Fire, both versus Cincinnati. It was the 43rd clean sheet of his MLS career.
It looked like Chicago would pull ahead in the 70th minute but Ignacio Aliseda’s goal was called back after referee Marcos DeOliveira reviewed the play and VAR determined there was a handball by Fire defender Boris Sekuliu0107 in the lead-up to the goal.
