FC Cincinnati faces FC Juarez on Sunday in Cincinnati as the 2025 Leagues Cup continues.
The Bravos turned heads with a dominant first-half display, tearing through their opponent's defense with Brazilian Madson netting a brace and Mosquera adding another just before the break. They took a commanding 3-1 lead into halftime, and Estupinan, the Colombian frontman, iced the game late to seal a stunning 4-1 win.
This surge is no fluke. Juárez had already made waves in the most recent Clausura, securing their first-ever play-in spot. And while they faced a brutal opening slate against América, Tigres, and Tijuana, they held their own with two gutsy draws, showing they're no longer just making up the numbers.
But a stern test now awaits in the form of FC Cincinnati, another side that's defying expectations. Under Pat Noonan, the MLS contenders remain entrenched in the Supporters' Shield battle, yet they've made it clear they're not taking the Leagues Cup lightly.
That intent was on full display in their thrilling 3-2 win over Monterrey at a buzzing TQL Stadium. Evander shone brightest, delivering a goal and an assist in a performance that underlined Cincinnati’s ambition. Noonan stayed true to his word, fielding a near full-strength lineup with just a few tactical tweaks, like Evan Louro replacing Roman Celentano in goal.
