Latest news
Cincinnati
📝 Yes, there are certain slip-ups, but this is the final stretch of the regular season and everyone is feeling the pressure. Cincinnati are leading the conference, which could provide a solid position for the playoffs. In their last match, they managed to edge out Portland (3-2), although they were up by three goals and allowed themselves to relax, which raises some questions. Evander delivered another solid performance, contributing a goal and an assist.
⚽️ Just a reminder that Evander has 16 goals and 9 assists. He has been a key player throughout the season.
❌ Luka Orellano might miss the game. He is the team's second striker.
New-York City
📝 One of the league's strongest home teams secured another impressive victory in their last MLS match, defeating Nashville 2-1. It's not surprising, as Cincinnati also fell to the "Cityzens" on their turf. New York displayed resilience against one of the conference's leaders, turning the game around and capitalizing on their chances effectively. Unfortunately, such results are rare in away matches, which is why New York sits only mid-table.
⚽️ Alonso Martinez scored his 13th goal of the season against Nashville. Following him is Hannes Wolf with nine goals.
❌ Thiago Martins is injured. He is a key player in defense.
