FC Cincinnati traveled north of the border on Saturday to take on Toronto FC in an important Eastern Conference matchup.
The orange and blue came into the game riding a major wave, having won their last six games.
Things got off to a rocky start for FC Cincinnati as Toronto FC struck first in the 25th minute.
Both teams would create a few more chances before halftime, but Toronto FC would go into the half with a 1-0 lead.
Coming out of the second half the orange and blue didn’t have to wait too long to get on the board as Luca Orellano would score and level things up for FC Cincinnati.
If you would have blinked you would have missed FC Cincinnati’s second goal of the night. The new boy Kevin Kelsy would strike again for FC Cincinnati just two minutes later to give them a 2-1 lead.
Sadly, that lead would not hold for FC Cincinnati as Toronto FC would score less than ten minutes later to level it at 2-2.
In the 79th minute Luca Orellano would score his second goal of the night to put FC Cincinnati back in front, 3-2.
In the 85th minute Toronto FC would once again tie the game after Miles Robinson brought down a man in the box for a penalty. Lorenzo Insigne would bury his penalty kick and tie the game up at 3-3.
Just when you thought there was no way that this game could get any crazier, substitute Sergio Santos comes on and scores the game-winning goal for FC Cincinnati in stoppage time.
This game took actual years off of my life. It was beyond exciting as a fan of the game, but it was so frustrating watching FC Cincinnati continuously give the lead up over and over.
However, this team does not quit. They continued to battle through adversity to the end and secured their seventh win in a row and three huge road points.
With that win FC Cincinnati now sits atop the Eastern Conference.
It’s a quick turnaround for FC Cincinnati as they now turn their sights to Wednesday’s matchup at TQL Stadium against Nashville SC.
UP THE ORANGE AND BLUE!!!
