Strong First-Half Leads to 2-0 FC Cincinnati Win Over Red Bulls - Goal Cincinnati FC Cincinnati jumped out to a 2-0 lead and never looked back, taking down the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night

Andrei Chirila had quite an impressive game tonight on the backline - here's what head coach Pat Noonan said about him post game:

"His passing range in the first half was excellent. When pressure came, he knew when not to pass. He took a touch, picked his head up, and played passes over distance that caused problems. For a young kid, understanding when to keep it simple is important.

In the second half, the game sped up. He had to defend more and make decisions in the box. That was growth. He was thrown into a position where we are comfortable with him, but there were players ahead of him. He put his head down, worked, and stayed confident. When he is called upon, he steps in and makes a positive impact."

Final de los primeros 45 minutos con victoria parcial de Cincinnati sobre los Red Bulls de Nueva York, 2-0 es el marcador para ir al descanso con doblete de Kevin Denkey. El FC Cincinnati salió con una alineación sorprendente poco comunes de inicio, un jovencito de 17 años mandando en la zaga central, Andrei Chirila, pareciera un veterano con mucha experiencia, seguro en los cortes, metiendo pases largos y con total solvencia en relevo a sus compañeros; junto a él también salieron otros jovenes de inicio como Valenzuela, Gidi y Kenji Mboma, todos han cumplido en su posición, un Cincinnati ampliamente mejor que el visitante, 68% de posesión de balón sobre 32 del Red Bull.
