FC Cincinnati’s win over Orlando on Friday was its seventh victory this season, setting a new club record for wins in a season, surpassing the six wins the club had in its inaugural 2019 season. With 23 points, Cincinnati is one point away from equaling the club single-season points record of 24, also set in 2019.
New York City FC lost, 2-1, at the Union on Sunday, ending a nine-match unbeaten run (W7 D2). The deciding goal was scored in the 96th minute, the latest winning goal NYCFC has ever allowed in MLS.
Brenner ended a 12-match scoreless streak on Friday, scoring the game’s only goal in Cincinnati’s 1-0 win over Orlando City. He had managed just six shots on target over his 12-match scoreless run dating back to last October.
Valentín Castellanos scored NYCFC’s lone goal against the Union from the penalty spot, his 30th in MLS play since the start of last season (including playoffs), three more than any other player. Eight of those 30 goals have come from the penalty spot, only Ola Kamara (10) has scored more in that time.
