FULL-TIME<\/strong>: The Sounders’ playoff hopes are hanging by the thinnest thread after they came-from-behind to salvage a 1-1 tie with FC Cincinnati while playing much of the second half down a man on Tuesday. The Sounders will be eliminated from playoff contention if they drop another point and would still need several teams to slip up rather significantly.<\/p>\n

SOUNDERS 1, FC CINCINNATI 1<\/strong>: Fredy Montero scored an absolute banger, taking a pass from Kelyn Rowe near the top of the box, spinning and beating FCC goalkeeper Roman Celentano to the near post.<\/p>\n

SOUNDERS 0, FC CINCINNATI 1<\/strong>: Brenner got behind the Sounders defense far too easily and slotted his shot past Stefan Frei in the 25th minute.<\/p>\n

As if playing without six of their regular starters wasn’t enough of a challenge, the Seattle Sounders will also face an FC Cincinnati side that is among the hottest in MLS. Yes, the team that was coming off three straight last-place finishes \u2014 the first time that’s ever happened in MLS history \u2014 seems to be hitting their stride for what looks to be their first-ever postseason.<\/p>\n

Since dropping a 4-3 decision away to CF Montreal on May 28, FC Cincinnati has lost just one game. That’s a stretch of 17 in which they’ve gone 5-1-11, including a 10-game unbeaten run in which they’re 4-0-6.<\/p>\n

That’s mostly on the strength of their offense, which has scored 56 goals, including 25 during this 10-game stretch. They’re a bit weaker on defense, having allowed 50 goals. <\/p>\n
