Cincinnati Gives Up 2–0 Lead in 2-2 Draw at Charlotte as Unbeaten Streak Reaches Six

The result spotlights lingering second-half fragility ahead of Inter Miami.

Overview

  • FC Cincinnati, which drew 2-2 on Saturday in Charlotte, led 2-0 at halftime before conceding twice in the first seven minutes after the break.
  • Kevin Denkey tapped in a rebound from an Evander free kick for the opener, and Evander curled in a shot from the edge of the box; Denkey has seven goals this season and five in his last four.
  • Charlotte leveled through Idan Toklomati’s close-range header off a Tim Ream assist in the 51st minute and a quick Pep Biel strike from a Djibril Diani cross in the 53rd.
  • Cincinnati failed to put a shot on target after halftime, despite outshooting Charlotte 11-5 with five on frame in the first half, as Charlotte edged possession at 51%.
  • The draw extends Cincinnati’s unbeaten run to six matches and sets up a midweek home date with Inter Miami, with Evander in a concentrated scoring surge at six league goals this season.
