July 3, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – FC Cincinnati News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – FC Cincinnati and the New England Revolution each took a point from Sunday night’s 2-2 draw at Gillette Stadium.
The Orange and Blue move to 7-7-4 for the season, setting a new club record for points in a season at 25. The Revs remain unbeaten in now 10 straight games (6-5-7, 25 points).
FC Cincinnati trailed twice but pulled the contest even both times. New England struck first in the 30th minute on a goal from Dylan Borrero.
FC Cincinnati equalized for the first time in the 41st minute. Luciano Acosta served in a corner kick intended for Brandon Vazquez at the near post. The pass deflected off New England defender Henry Kessler into the back of the net for an own goal.
The own goal was the third this season to benefit the Orange and Blue, which is the most own goals FC Cincinnati have received in a season all-time.
Gustavo Bou sent the Revs ahead in the 55th minute, but FCC drew level once again.
Forward Brenner equalized in the 73rd minute to score in his third consecutive game, becoming the third player in club history to do so (Vazquez – October 2021; Acosta – April/May 2022). He also is the first player in club history to score five goals in a three-game span.
The play began with Allan Cruz forcing a turnover in New England’s defensive third and playing the ball to Acosta. The captain did what he does more than any other player in the league and assisted an open Brenner in the box who buried his left-footed shot into the back of the net.
Acosta extended his MLS-lead in assists to 10 this season. For Cruz, it was his first assist since July 6, 2019 vs. Houston.
Roman Celentano made five saves in net for FC Cincinnati.
The Orange and Blue return home to TQL Stadium on Saturday, July 9 to take on the New York Red Bulls. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and the game can be watched on Star64, streamed in-market at fccincinnati.com, out of market on ESPN+ and listened to on the radio on ESPN 1530.
