After losing twice in March, they're 1-1 in July after beating Atlanta.

Where are they playing these games?

Orlando. The sad part about today’s 1-0 win is they were up a man most of the game after an early red card on an Atlanta player. There was apparently a second red card in second half stoppage time, so they were up two men for a brief period of time. You’d expect more than 1 goal playing up a man or two.

They were up two men for a few minutes. They were really sitting back, probably a little too much in extra time which was 10(!) minutes. I only saw the last 15-20 minutes of the game.

The VAR gods were gracious to us today. But a win is a win. Now get a tie against NYRB and we likely move on to the knockout stage.

Wow, we’re onto the knock out round!

Incredible performance. After the 0-4 drubbing to start the tournament, I would've been thrilled with just one win. Can't believe we knocked off both Atlanta and RBNY. Decent chance that LAFC is next though. They're a horse of a different color.

I’m shocked at the win and especially the clean sheet. You can’t let the opponent live around the 18 yard box most of the game and expect to keep them from scoring every time.

That game was just a crazy range of emotions. If you would have told me we lost in PKs to Portland prior to the game I would have been happy with the performance, and well I guess I am. But seeing Locadia miss an open net goal from 4 inches away was just such a stab through the heart. Only to exacerbated by Waston taking one of the worst PKs i think I have ever seen.

However, this team appears to have a pulse, so hopefully we can build from it.

No mention yet of the game winning olimpico goal??

I don't know this to be a fact, but I think olimpico goals are about as rare as perfect games in baseball. There have probably been more of them, but there have also been far more soccer games played than baseball games. This was the first time I've actually ever seen one as it happened and not on a replay. It was amazing!!

I believe Ledesma had a couple of them in 2018 (I think one was called back).

Hopefully the team can start converting some of their attempts. It feels like we have missed 7 or 8 easy goals since the restart of in market games.

I believe an olimpico goal is one scored on a corner kick, hence it being a rarity

I know. Ledesma did it against Richmond in 2018 https://twitter.com/fccincinnati/status/1045138185465008128?s=21 (0:50 of the highlight)

My other comment was just more talking about that I hope the team starts finishing their chances so we can string some wins together.

That's exactly what it is. An untouched/unassisted goal on a corner kick.

I saw a fourth grader do it last weekend.

Never too early to get that kid into our academy system.
