ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Luciano Acosta scored a goal for the third consecutive game and Roman Celentano had two saves to help FC Cincinnati beat Orlando City 1-0 on Saturday night. The 23-year-old Celentano has four shutouts this season. Cincinnati (6-2-3), has won three consecutive games following back-to-back losses to the New York Red Bulls and Montreal. Acosta slipped behind the defense on the right side and ran onto a long ball played by DeAndre Yedlin before he cut back to evade a pair of defenders and scored from point-blank range to give Cincinnati a 1-0 lead in the opening minute. Pedro Gallese had two saves for Orlando (2-5-3), which had its two-game win streak snapped. Bret Halsey replaced Yedlin in the 56th minute and was shown a yellow card moments later. The 23-year-old defender picked up his second yellow in the 78th and Cincinnati played a man down the rest of the way. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer |
