Fulltime: #FCCincy 1, Orlando City SC 1. Heartbreaking way to drop points, giving up the equalizer in the 96th minute. Evander's final attempt on the free kick sails over the crossbar. Here's the Supporters' Shield standings with two matches left.

88' - Yuya Kubo in for Sami Gidi. What applause he gets coming on for just the 13th time this season. Though, Gidi might have deserved some of that applause for his performance. He was all over the place tonight. #FCCincy

80' - Kevin Denkey, Luca Orellano and Pavel Bucha sub off -- Ayoub Jabbari, Dom Marczuk and Brian Anunga on. #FCCincy holding onto a 1-0 lead.

That's Kevin Denkey's 14th goal in league play, 16th across all competitions. Prior to tonight, he had one goal in the last 10 league games. He (and #FCCincy) needed that.

74' - Kevin Denkey with a beautiful goal off Evander's assist. "Big players step up in big games" moment for both of them. #FCCincy up 1-0.

The Alvas Powell show! Love his energy. Too bad Pavel Bucha couldn't have finished the rebound on Powell's initial shot, which may have taken a slight deflection. #FCCincy

66' - Alvas Powell replaces Nick Hagglund. Miles Robinson moves to the middle. Teenage Hadebe has clearly fallen to the back of the depth chart, only ahead of Gilberto Flores, who is not in the squad tonight. #FCCincy

Halftime: #FCCincy 0, Orlando City SC 0. Orlando had some good chances but strong first half from Evan Louro and some recovery plays by the defense keep it scoreless. Only four shots for FCC so far but the possession advantage. Thoughts?

What a play by Evan Louro. Coming out of the box like that, he HAD to make a play and did. Nice ball then to Luca Orellano, who sprinted down the field to keep it in bounds but couldn't hit the cross over the defender. #FCCincy

Game underway at TQL Stadium. #FCCincy

No changes from last week's 3-2 win at L.A. Galaxy. #FCCincy need a win to keep its Supporters Shield chances up after Philadelphia won last night. Miami/SD/Vancouver dropping points helps but Philadelphia and Miami can both finish above FCC if they all win out.

Reds fall 4-2 to Brewers. If the Marlins get 3 more outs against the Mets without allowing 4 runs, Reds go to LA. If the Mets come back, Reds go home.

"The last part of the season, when important games are coming up, that's when the big players need to step up, & I know how important I am for the team. ... I need to step up & help the team as much as I can." Evander is ready to do even more for #FCCincy www.patreon.com/posts/139820...

Evander taking the “big players perform in big games” mentality to another level as #FCCincy heads into the final three games with a chance still to win the Supporters’ Shield. He loves a chance to make an impact. Great interview with him today at MHTC.

#FCCincy defensive midfielder Obinna Nwobodo, who has been out since tearing a quadriceps tendon June 25, "is close" and expected to be back in the group next week, but the team likely will be without two other starters this weekend as well. www.patreon.com/posts/139573...

#FCCincy coach Pat Noonan said Obinna Nwobodo will be back in the group next week. "He's close." Availability next weekend at RBNY is TBD but with two weeks of prep after that for Montreal, it seems likely he would be involved for at least the finale + playoffs.

#FCCincy wasted no time integrating U22 midfielder Sami Gidi in his first two weeks with the club. Now he has a chance to play an important role late in the season, providing much-needed depth in the midfield as the Orange and Blue chase hardware. www.patreon.com/posts/139736...

#Bengals QB Jake Browning was asked about still completing 70 percent of his passes: “Yeah, my incompletions need to be incompletions, not picks.”

#Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Dalton Risner came out of the calf injury Sunday better than expected. Would not commit to him starting Monday at Denver - "we've got a lot of options" so plan is to see how it looks this week.

#FCCincy has signed USYNT attacker Jack Mize to the academy, coming from Borussia Dortmund’s academy, and he will be on an MLS Next Pro deal in 2026. As @tombogert.bsky.social reported: New York Red Bulls would receive up to around $250k GAM + sell on clause if Mize signs - homegrown deal.

#FCCincy back to a regular training session today after having a little fun yesterday. Matt Miazga was not outside during the media viewing portion, but Roman Celentano and Paul Walters appeared to get through their first day back Tuesday in good shape. www.patreon.com/posts/139573...

Roman Celentano back in #FCCincy training Tuesday, Matt Miazga working off to the side and a few other notes from a light session to begin a five-day build to Sunday vs. Orlando City. www.patreon.com/posts/139573...

Another “caption this” opportunity as Matt Miazga makes an appearance outside to begin some individual work. #FCCincy

Did have to zoom in to see which goalkeepers are training way on the usual back field they work on. Roman Celentano is back! #FCCincy

No binoculars needed. #FCCincy

Joe Burrow is in the building. Came through the locker room with the assistance of a scooter, left foot in a cast. #Bengals

The pitch might have just looked worse on the broadcast, in terms of how watered it was before the match, than it did in person. I asked #FCCincy coach Pat Noonan about it and he said he had no complaints. They love the speed of play with a wet surface.

Fulltime: FC Cincinnati 3, L.A. Galaxy 2. Evander assists all three goals, now sitting at 32 goal contributions. Brenner w/ a brace and Ender Echenique with his first goal for the club. FCC becomes the first MLS team since 2000 to collect 10 road wins in consecutive seasons.

88' - Brenner completes his first brace of the season. A much-needed insurance goal to extend FC Cincinnati's lead to 3-1.

72' - Yuya Kubo, Ayoub Jabbari and Dom Marczuk on for Sami Gidi, Kevin Denkey and Ender Echenique. #FCCincy

Halftime: #FCCincy 2, L.A. Galaxy 1 Ender Echenique and Brenner had FCC up 2-0, but Galaxy drew one back on Joseph Paintsil's header late in the half. You guys still awake? Thoughts?

39' - Joseph Paintsil gets LA Galaxy on the board with a header goal past Evan Louro. #FCCincy has struggled at times defending crosses into the box and again on that one. FCC's lead down to 2-1.

Evander with four goal contributions in the last 40-plus minutes for #FCCincy, by the way, starting with the assist on Brenner's 73rd minute goal vs. Nashville.

22'- Brenner gets his second goal in as many games. Nice build up started by Kevin Denkey holding the ball up before dishing to Evander, who delivered the through ball to Brenner for the goal. 2-0 #FCCincy

10' - Great finish for Ender Echenique, showing off that speed to beat the defender inside and beat the GK near post for his first goal. #FCCincy up 1-0

A couple changes with Sami Gidi getting his first start in place of Brian Anunga and Ender Echenique replacing Dom Marczuk, in addition to necessary change with Matt Miazga out and Nick Hagglund starting in his place. Evan Louro remains in goal for injured Roman Celentano. #FCCincy

Just … three … more hours until game time for #FCCincy at LA Galaxy. Read up before the match or before you decide kickoff is too late and go to bed. www.patreon.com/posts/139220...

Cam Taylor-Britt is doubtful and DJ Turner is probably good to go, per Zac Taylor. #Bengals

Zac Taylor said Joe Burrow underwent surgery and it went well. No timeline on his recovery process yet. #Bengals

Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring) did not practice and now DJ Turner also is limited by a hamstring issue. #Bengals

Logan Wilson went through stretching but I don’t see Cam Taylor-Britt. #Bengals

#FCCincy coach Pat Noonan said Roman Celentano and Matt Miazga are both out Saturday at L.A. Galaxy, but Lukas Engel was back in training Thursday and should be available. Full updates with quotes⬇️ www.patreon.com/posts/week-o...

Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring) and Logan Wilson (ankle) were both limited today. Shemar Stewart (ankle) did not practice -- Zac Taylor said Monday he is doubtful for this week. #Bengals

Same absences today at #FCCincy training, so a bit concerning but tomorrow will be the big indicator of player availability. FCC departs tomorrow for L.A. after training. www.patreon.com/posts/139043...
