Four saves against Cincinnati
Freese had four saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-1 loss versus FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Freese made four saves in Wednesday's 1-2 defeat to FC Cincinnati, keeping his side in the match throughout a tightly contested first half before being beaten by Kenji Mboma Dem's left-footed finish in the 11th minute and then powerless to stop Evander's spinning stoppage-time strike that sealed the result. The goalkeeper has now gone six consecutive MLS matches without a clean sheet, a run that has coincided with NYCFC's slide to seventh in the Eastern Conference, and his side will need a collective defensive improvement heading into the New England Revolution fixture to arrest a difficult run of form.
Crucial error against Belgium
Freese had three saves and allowed four goals in Monday's 4-1 loss against Belgium.
Analysis: Freese's performance plummeted after a promising start to the game, with his team conceding four goals, one of which was entirely his fault as he lost possession of the ball outside his box. It was an odd mistake for a keeper who had otherwise been reliable between the posts, allowing just one goal over his previous three starts. However, he ended up with eight saves and five goals against across four matches played during his first World Cup.
