FC Cincinnati's Evander Dominates Orlando City in 6-2 Thriller
24 May
Summary
- Evander scored two goals and assisted three in a 6-2 win.
- FC Cincinnati ended a slump with their highest goal output since July 2024.
- Orlando City's three-match unbeaten streak concluded with the loss.
FC Cincinnati secured a resounding 6-2 victory against Orlando City, entering the World Cup break on a high note. The dominant performance ended a recent slump for Cincinnati, who had not won since May 2.
Evander was instrumental in the win, scoring two goals and providing three assists. His play set up Kenji Mboma Dem for the eventual match-winner in the 52nd minute, which broke a 2-2 tie. Evander then added his own second goal in the 58th minute, extending Cincinnati's lead.
Cincinnati's potent offense, which entered the match leading MLS in goals scored, proved too much for Orlando's defense. This marked Cincinnati's highest goal tally in an MLS regular-season match since July 6, 2024. Orlando City saw its three-match unbeaten streak halted by the decisive loss.
Further goals from Kevin Denkey and Tom Barlow sealed the comprehensive win for FC Cincinnati. Orlando's Martin Ojeda scored twice in the match, but it wasn't enough to counter Cincinnati's offensive firepower.
