Albright came to Cincinnati from the Union where he worked as the club's technical director. Albright is one of the chief architects of the recent and best Union teams ever assembled.
Cincinnati entered the Philadelphia match on 20 points in the standings, which is half the amount needed just to be in the seventh and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference entering the weekend.
