FC CincinnativsOrlando City SC
CIN 1/ORL 1
Things to say
FC Cincinnati and Orlando City played to a 1-1 draw at Inter&Co Stadium.
01
opener
Cincy and Orlando split the points, one-all. End-to-end stuff but nobody could grab a winner. Fair result, honestly.
02
key player
Evander was the danger man for Cincinnati, five shots on the night. That guy is the whole attack right now.
03
hot take
Orlando should've taken all three at home. They had the chances and just didn't put it away.
04
deep cut
Celentano bailed Cincy out with four saves. Crépeau barely had to work by comparison.
05
exit
Anyway, a draw on the road isn't the worst. We'll see if they build on it next match.
The recap
Cincinnati and Orlando played out a 1-1 draw in Florida that neither side could quite grab. Evander was the busiest man on the field, peppering five shots and forcing Maxime Crépeau into work, while Tyrese Spicer matched him for volume at the other end.
Roman Celentano was the difference-maker for Cincy, four saves keeping the visitors level, and David Brekalo threw his body at everything with 13 defensive interventions.
In the end a point apiece feels about right, but both keepers earned their money and both attacks will feel they left one out there.
