Saturday night the Cincinnati Kings won their third straight game 2-1 over the Cleveland Internationals. The Kings took the lead at the 16:00 minute when Steven Beattie pounced on a loss ball and pounded to past the goalkeeper from 25 yards out. The Kings had many chances to add to the score by halftime but poor technique in finishing hurt the squad. 
Saturday the Cincinnati Kings defeated the Toronto Lynx 3-0 to improve their record to 4-4-1. The Kings came out attack minded and took a well deserved lead 10 minutes into the game as Jon Sutton crossed a ball for first time starter Ben Thomas to slot home. 
Over 1,300 fans came out in the sweltering 90 degree heat to watch the final Open Cup game of the Great Lakes Division between the twice league champion Michigan Bucks and the Cincinnati Kings. Both teams came out to gain the offensive advantage and this turned out to be the theme of the game as the match was an open attacking display of end to end action. The Kings best chances came in the first half as twice they were able to get down to the byline but were unable to find the net or the incoming attacking player.
Last night the Cincinnati Kings defeated the PDL league runner up Chicago Fire in Chicago 2-1. Coupled with the previous defeat of Kalamazoo they have beaten both the division champion and the Chicago Fire who lost in last years championship game in over time to Ventura County of California.
