United blanked 1-0 at home by Cincinnati

One goal, rematch lost

Audi Field hosted the second Cincinnati date in four days — and again left without a win. FC Cincinnati beat D.C. United 1-0 on Saturday night. Gerardo Valenzuela scored in the 28th minute, and the visitors held the clean sheet through full time (Yahoo Sports).

Wednesday’s 2-1 road loss at TQL already put the season series on the Orange and Blue’s side. Saturday was the home answer, and it never came. United chased after the Valenzuela finish; Cincinnati managed the lead and the clock.

Confirm remaining MLS kicks and Apple TV windows on the club board. The late stretch is about stacking points, not moral victories.
