Chicago Fire manager Gregg Berhalter has addressed the high-profile error made by Mbekezeli Mbokazi during his side’s 3-2 Major League Soccer defeat to FC Cincinnati.

The Men in Red coach saw his team suffer a second straight loss, with the match turning on a costly defensive mistake from the South African youngster.

Berhalter acknowledged the incident but stressed collective responsibility within the defensive unit. 

"The reason why I am upset about the first goal is that the right decision is for the back line to drop," he said as quoted on Kickoff.

"If Evander has time on the ball, he’s free; he can make the pass."
