Match report
FC Cincinnati beat Philadelphia Union 1-0 at TQL Stadium after Ayoub Jabbari came off the bench to score the only goal. The home side waited until the 70th minute for the breakthrough, then saw it through to full time.
The first half ended goalless. The only change before the interval came on 45 minutes, when FC Cincinnati brought on Evander for Samuel Mawuena Gidi. Both sides were still level at 0-0 at the break.
The decisive moment arrived in the 70th minute, when Jabbari, who had come on in the 64th minute, scored from a move finished with no assist recorded. FC Cincinnati had already made two changes on 64 minutes, sending on Jabbari and Ender Jesús Echenique Peña, and the goal gave them a lead they protected through a series of late substitutions. Philadelphia Union also made two changes on 60 minutes, bringing on Cavan Sullivan and Jesus Bueno, but could not find an equaliser.
The numbers showed a tighter contest in possession than in chance creation. FC Cincinnati had 51% of the ball and 430 passes to Philadelphia Union's 399, while the visitors had 15 shots to 7, 6 on target to 2 and 12 corners to 3. Philadelphia Union also had 6 saves to Cincinnati's 1, while the home side committed 11 fouls to 4.
There were no bookings and no dismissals.
