FC Cincinnati Completes Thrilling Comeback Victory Over CF Montréal
FC Cincinnati secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over CF Montréal on Sunday, March 22, 2026, at a sold-out TQL Stadium. The win snapped a three-game MLS losing streak for the Orange and Blue.
A Game of Firsts and Milestones
This match was a historic one for FCC, marking their first come-from-behind win when playing down to 10 men. Miles Robinson received a red card in the 60th minute, but Cincinnati rallied to secure the win. The team also equaled a club record with their 34th goal scored against Montréal, holding an 11-goal differential in the series.
Alvas Powell reached a significant milestone, making his 150th appearance for the club, joining Kubo, Hagglund, Acosta, and Celentano in that achievement. Kévin Denkey continued his impressive form, scoring the game-winning goal – his 14th for the club, extending his record – and netting for the fourth consecutive match.
Back-and-Forth Action at TQL Stadium
The match was a rollercoaster of emotions for fans. Montréal took the lead three times, with goals from Wikelman Carmona (6’), Prince Owusu (45’, 64’ – penalty kick). However, FC Cincinnati responded each time. Ender Echenique (40’), Ayoub Jabbari (52’), Tom Barlow (80’), and ultimately Kévin Denkey (90’+4) found the back of the net for the home side.
