The club record was set by Luciano Acosta in 2024 (23).

Evander played Mboma Dem out wide before the forward worked into the Miami box from the right wing with a series of quick stepovers, the last of which left a Miami defender off balance. Mboma Dem took advantage of the tight but open space and sent a perfect ball into the top left corner of goal.<\/p>\n CIN: Samuel Gidi, GOAL \u2013 86\u2019 (1-2) \u2013 Samuel Gidi put Cincinnati in front just six minutes later as the Orange and Blue broke quickly into attack from deep in their own half. K\u00e9vin Denkey began the move, playing up to Evander who brought possession down the left wing before moving more centrally, and playing across the box to Tom Barlow. Barlow hesitated on his initial touch and shot attempt and elected to play back to Gidi who trailed the play. Gidi hit first time and found the lower left corner with a precise finish.<\/p>\n MIA: Riquelme Fillipi, GOAL \u2013 90\u2019 (2-2) \u2013 Riquelme Fillipi brought Miami back on level terms with the final goal of the match a curler from a near identical position as Luis Su\u00e1rez’s opener.<\/p>\n FC CINCINNATI GAME REPORT SCORING SUMMARY: 1-2-FT MIA \u2013 Luis Su\u00e1rez (Casemiro, De Paul) 61\u2019, Riquelme Fillipi (De Paul, Casemiro) 90\u2019<\/p>\n CIN \u2013 Kenji Mboma Dem (Evander, Anunga) 80\u2019, Samuel Gidi (Barlow, Evander) 86\u2019<\/p>\n LINEUPS Substitutes not used: Evan Louro, Pavel Bucha, Andrei Chirila, Ayoub Jabbari MIA: Dayne St. Clair, Sergio Reguil\u00f3n (Ian Fray 46\u2019), Micael, Casemiro, Gonzalo Luj\u00e1n, Mat\u00edas Galarza (Telasco Segovia 46\u2019), David Avala, Rodrigo De Paul, Germ\u00e1n Berterame (Riquelme Fillipi 83\u2019), Lionel Messi (C), Luis Su\u00e1rez<\/p>\n Substitutes not used: Rocco R\u00edos Novo, Facundo Mura, Santiago Morales, Maximiliano Falc\u00f3n, Yannick Bright, Daniel Pinter\u00a0 OFFICIALS\u202f Stay up-to-date and connected with FC Cincinnati!
