FC Cincinnati 2 1:0 Inter Miami CF II — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Cheikhou Niang's first-half strike was the difference as FC Cincinnati 2 edged Inter Miami CF II 1-0, a result that sets up a meeting with New York Red Bulls II on 5 July. The home side dominated proceedings from the first whistle, though the scoreline hardly reflected their control of the contest.

The turning point arrived just before the interval, when Cheikhou Niang found the net in the 45th minute to give FC Cincinnati 2 the lead. The goal came amid a scrappy spell that saw Inter Miami's Theo Vorenkamp booked in the 44th minute for a clumsy challenge, and the away side never truly recovered. A flurry of yellow cards in the second half, including one for Camden Sphire of the hosts and three more for the visitors, kept the game tense but never truly threatened the outcome.

FC Cincinnati 2 were the better side throughout and fully deserved the win, controlling both halves without ever needing to hit top gear. CheckLive's model clearly favoured the home side, and the result confirmed that prediction, with the live signals backing FC Cincinnati 2 at 1.27 and winning comfortably. Next up is a home fixture against New York Red Bulls II on 5 July.
