  • 51' Nashville SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Hany Mukhtar scoring 1 goals.
  • 55' FC Cincinnati ring the changes. Gerardo Valenzuela has done his job and it is now time for Sergio Santos to step up.
  • 56' FC Cincinnati manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yamil Asad is hanging Nick Hagglund on the field on 56 minute.
