The Chicago Fire have a tough challenge in trying to notch their first road win of the season Wednesday night when they face FC Cincinnati.
The Fire (2-5-1) have been one of the worst road teams in the MLS over the last two-plus seasons with just four victories in 38 matches outside "The Windy City." First-year coach Raphael Wicky has seen his team claim just one point in four road contests thus far, and the Fire are trying to regroup from a 3-1 loss at New York City FC played in Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
Mauricio Pineda lifted Chicago into a tie right before halftime, but the Fire were unable to sustain that momentum in the second 45 minutes, conceding shortly after the restart and again in the 75th minute.
