Ojeda has 11 goal this season, nine in the last seven games. <\/p>\n<p>Evander, on the counter-attack, took a pass from Pavel Bucha and rolled a shot from the left side of the area inside the back post to give Cincinnati a 2-1 lead in first-half stoppage time. <\/p>\n<p>Mboma Dem headed home a corner kick played into the area by Evander to make it 1-1 in the 42nd minute. <\/p>\n<p>Orlando has allowed an MLS-worst 44 goals this season. <\/p>\n<p>Maxime Cr\u00e9peau had five saves. <\/p>\n<p>AP soccer: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 Associated Press.
