With one touch and a quick pass, Vazquez would pick out Luciano Acosta between the NYCFC defensive line. Touching the ball just beyond Alexander Callens and darting towards the right post, Acosta slots home a shot just past a chasing and outstretching Sean Johnson to grab the 1-0 advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A quick turnover, and Lucho Acosta pounces on the chance!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fccincinnati?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@fccincinnati<\/a> strikes first. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8BpKLm4ptu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/8BpKLm4ptu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Major League Soccer (@MLS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLS\/status\/1542296192373121025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just three minutes late as the 18th minute hit, it would be Cincinnati finding another chance as a floated pass from Haris Medunjanin found Luciano Acosta breaking towards the back post. Flicking it back into play towards the penalty spot, Acosta picked out Brenner for a back-heeled shot attempt that just rolled past Johnson for a goal but was swiftly waved off by a review from VAR as the ball had just barely rolled out of bounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cincy would strike again in the 24th minute as Medunjanin received a pass from Brenner and picked out Acosta in a pocket of space between NYCFC defenders. From here, a simple pass beyond the defensive line for a breaking Brenner would result in the Brazillian\u2019s first goal of the night as he slide another just out of Johnson\u2019s reach for a 2-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BALL DON&#39;T LIE. <\/p>\n<p>\u26bd\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/09brenner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@09brenner<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q0VfJRl7Cy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/q0VfJRl7Cy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FC Cincinnati (@fccincinnati) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fccincinnati\/status\/1542298778971131904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining pressure, Cincinnati would find themselves on the attack again in the 30th minute with \u00c1lvaro Barreal receiving a pass while wide open on the left-wing.
