Overview
- FC Cincinnati beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 Saturday night as Kévin Denkey scored twice in the first half.
- Denkey struck in the 40th minute and buried a stoppage-time penalty after Evander drew a foul on 19-year-old Joyeux Bungi.
- Goalkeeper Roman Celentano made six saves for his second shutout of the season and the 37th of his Cincinnati career.
- The win followed both clubs’ 4-4 draws earlier in the week and left each team at 3-4-3, extending New York’s skid since its April 4 win over Cincinnati.
- Teen defender Tahir Reid-Brown made his MLS debut for Cincinnati in the second half after a short-term loan from Orlando City B, showing how teams are leaning on youth for depth.
