It was another frustrating night for FC Cincinnati fans as the Orange and Blue fell to the New York Red Bulls 4-2. For FCC, it was a game defined by missed chances and questionable calls. The Red Bulls put in a good performance with Ronald Donkor and Cade Cowell arguably making the biggest impact.

First Half

With Roman Celentano still nursing a leg injury, Evan Louro was in goal. He was tested early by a shot from Donkor in the fourth minute. The Red Bulls kept the pressure on, with a cross from Cowell resulting in a goal from Julian Hall in the 11th minute.

FCC rallied with a quick response in the 16th minute. Kévin Denkey has Evander running forward in the box, but chose to make a short pass to Pavel Bucha, who placed in the back of the net. But the tide of the match turned again as NYRB had two attempts within the next five minutes. First Emil Forsberg took a long shot that missed, then Donkor passed to Cowell, who shot it right at Luoro.

FCC again pushed...
