When I asked Nick Hagglund if he had a new celebration ready after his close calls tonight he said, “I’ve got one ready.” I asked if it was going to be Cincinnati related. “Not exactly. It’s Cincinnati related in a way, yeah, it’s more FC Cincinnati related”

When Ender was asked about what made him smile the most tonight he said through an interpreter, “The fans. The way they yell my name and cheer for me as I’m running up and down the field. It fills me with joy and makes me smile as I’m running up and down the field.”

”I’m interested to see what his running numbers are, because he put in a shift,” Pat Noonan said when I asked about Ender Echenique. “He was a constant threat, but defensively he made a lot of plays as well.”

Final: FC Cincinnati conquers demons of playoff past as they eliminate the Columbus Crew from the MLS Cup Playoffs. They also end the career of Darlington Nagbe, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

96': For those who don't believe that Miles Robinson is a good leader, he has been shouting instructions for a majority of the last 10 minutes as The FC look to see this match off. Three minutes to go.

90': Columbus is making three substitutions, including taking off Diego Rossi. Daniel Gazdag comes on, along with a few other players. We will see 9 minutes of extra time. Apparently the referees want this to go to penalties.

88': Brenner is coming off for Obinna Nwobodo and Alvas Powell is coming on for Ender Echenique. Pat putting the defensive guys on the pitch to see this match out.

86': A Brenner brace! He puts FC Cincinnati up 2-1 with probably 10 minutes left in this one. He's going to get a yellow card after taking his shirt off, but the fans here in Cincinnati do not care.

82': After showing three cards in the first half, the referee has let a few challenges that could be card worthy go, including a Max Arfsten foul on a charging Ayoub Jabbari.

Miles Robinson's game plan this whole match has been to just boot the ball down the field to Echenique and it's really funny that it's worked as well as it has.

73': Ender Echenique has taken a lot of punishment to his legs this match and still manages to outrun everyone on Columbus consistently. Ayoub Jabbari is getting set to come in. Obinna Nwobodo is ready but not coming in quite yet. Kevin Denkey comes off.
November 9, 2025 at 12:43 AM
67': BRENNER! The Brazilian finds the ball in front of goal on a corner and evens the match 1-1. First goal he has ever scored against Columbus in his FC Cincinnati career.

Team is going to need the crowd to keep the energy up here. The last thing they want is for the atmosphere to deflate.

63': Opening goal goes to Columbus on a fantastic pass from Andres Herrera to Jacen Russel-Rowe. Goal is checked for offsides but is confirmed.

60': Pavel Bucha has been leading the attack early in the second half, with Evander finding him in open and with room to run in the box. On the other side of the pitch, Lukas Engel is down and getting medical attention. Luca Orellano is getting ready to come on in his stead.

57': Holy save by Roman Celentano. Thought the ball was going towards the upper part of the net, but Hugo Picard headed it low and Celentano narrowly blocked and caught it with his legs. Outstanding stuff.

50': Evander finds Nick Hagglund again on a corner, but again it sails over the bar. They seem hell bent on recreating the moment from the Montreal match.

47': The second half has kicked off and Max Arfsten was once again beat by Ender Echenique. No one was around to receive Ender's cross into the box but it's still worth noting that the USMNT player has been getting handled tonight.

That's the first half. Stalemated at 0-0. Columbus has commanded 61% possession so far, will be interesting to see if FCC can even that out.

35': Taha Habroune is booked for pulling Lukas Engel down by his shirt. Columbus is currently leading in fouls 7 to 2.

33': I've noticed thus far that the attacking trio of Brenner, Evander, and Denkey have all been pressing high on Columbus's defense. Its made Columbus play short passes instead of ones over the top. Basically, they're playing like every team plays against them.

#allforcincy #fccincy

20': Ender again beats Arfsten out on the right side, this time he's able to secure a corner kick for the Orange and Blue. The corner bounced around before Hagglund headed it just over the crossbar and out of bounds.

15': A solid counter attack comes to an abrupt end when Evander sails a ball intended for Brenner out of bounds. Pretty even match thus far. FC Cincinnati's defense looks 100% better than last match in Columbus.
