GAME NOTES<\/strong>
– With a 10th road win this season, FC Cincinnati became the seventh team in the MLS post-shootout era (since 2000) to reach double-digit road wins in a season and the first club to do so in consecutive seasons. <\/p>\n– FC Cincinnati became just the second club in MLS History (D.C. United \u2013 1997-99) to win 18 or more games in three consecutive seasons, and the 56 wins in the last three seasons extends the record for most wins in a three-year span by any MLS team in the post-shootout era. <\/p>\n
– FC Cincinnati are 17-4-5 against Western Conference opponents in MLS play under Head Coach Pat Noonan. FCC finished this season 5-0-1 against the West. <\/p>\n
– FCC have won six straight road matches against Western Conference opponents, the longest interconference road win streak in MLS\u2019 post-shootout era. The all-time MLS record is seven (Columbus Crew: April 28, 1999-May 27, 2000). <\/p>\n
– FC Cincinnati defeated the Galaxy in the first meeting between the clubs since June 2019 which came in FCC\u2019s inaugural MLS season. The road team won both meetings in the head-to-head series. <\/p>\n
– Evander matched the club record with three assists on the evening. It was the fourth time in the club\u2019s MLS history a player distributed three assists (Acosta \u2013 8\/6\/22 vs PHI; Vazquez \u2013 10\/9\/22 at DC; Acosta \u2013 6\/15\/24 at SJ). <\/p>\n
– Ender Echenique scored his first goal for FC Cincinnati, becoming the 49th different player in club history to score an MLS Regular Season goal for the club. <\/p>\n
– Brenner scored for the second consecutive game and recorded his first goal streak for FC Cincinnati since scoring in three straight from September 10-27, 2022 (vs SJ, at RSL, at SEA). <\/p>\n
– Brenner netted his seventh multi-goal game with FC Cincinnati, his first since scoring three on October 9, 2022 at D.C. United. <\/p>\n
– Samuel Gidi made his first start for FC Cincinnati Saturday night.<\/p>\n
