FC Cincinnati head into the World Cup break after a massive 6-2 win over Orlando City at TQL Stadium, powered by a historic night from Evander with 2 goals and 3 assists as he set a new FCC record with five goal contributions in a single match. Kenji Mboma Dem added his first MLS brace, Denkey stayed red hot, and FCC extended their streak to seven straight matches with multiple goals scored as the attack continues to roll.
But even in a dominant win, the same concerns remained: FCC conceded first again, looked vulnerable defensively for stretches, and still feel like one of the most dangerous yet unpredictable teams in MLS. We break down the Orlando match, Evander’s unreal form, Roman’s huge late saves, Pat Noonan’s comments, and then dive into a full FC Cincinnati first half of season breakdown with expectations, concerns, standout players, and what still needs to improve heading into the second half of the year.
