Cincinnati's Unbeaten Streak Continues

FC Cincinnati continued their impressive run of form on Saturday, edging out Minnesota United 2-1 to secure their 10th road win of the season. The victory extends their unbeaten streak to seven games, keeping them firmly in the playoff race.

Cincinnati took the lead in the 20th minute through Brenner's clinical finish. The Brazilian forward latched onto a through ball from Luciano Acosta and slotted it past Minnesota goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair.

Minnesota Fight Back

Minnesota United responded well to going behind, equalizing just seven minutes later. Franco Fragapane curled a beautiful free-kick into the top corner, leaving Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano with no chance.

However, Cincinnati regained the lead in the 65th minute through Alvaro Barreal. The Argentine midfielder found space on the edge of the box and fired a low shot into the bottom corner.

Defense Stands Firm

Cincinnati's defense held firm in the closing stages, with St. Clair making a crucial save to deny Abu Danladi in the 75th minute. The visitors also benefited from some wasteful finishing from Minnesota, who failed to capitalize on several promising chances.

Conclusion

FC Cincinnati's hard-fought victory over Minnesota United was a testament to their resilience and determination. The team showed great character to come back from 1-1 down and secure the three points.

The win keeps Cincinnati in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, just four points behind seventh-placed New England Revolution. With seven games remaining in the regular season, the Orange and Blue will be confident of securing a place in the postseason.
