United fall 2-1 at Cincinnati in midweek redo

Road redo, same sting

TQL Stadium got the makeup date. Cincinnati got the three points. FC Cincinnati beat D.C. United 2-1 on Wednesday night in a rescheduled MLS match — David Doudera early, Kimito Nono before the break, Teenage Hadebe after it.

Doudera opened from the right side of the box in the 14th. United answered in the 38th: Peglow slipped Nono through, and the finish stood after a VAR check. Halftime was level. The second half was not. Evander’s set-piece cross found Hadebe from close range in the 55th, and Cincinnati held the lead through the final whistle.

Alex Bono made saves. United pushed late after the Hadebe goal, but the road night stayed a one-goal loss. Confirm the next kick and Apple TV window on the club board.
