Player ratings

Both of them Kévin Denkey's — 8.89

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.89, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats FC Cincinnati to Alan Soñora

The clock did what Cerro Porteno would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Boardroom

FC Cincinnati close the window on a squad of their own making

13 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Pavel Bucha wants more than FC Cincinnati are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Transfer targets

Ryan Schewe turns down FC Cincinnati

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Sporting Kansas City keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Cincinnati

Miles Robinson and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

David Douděra beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

David Douděra signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Douděra commits to FC Cincinnati for another 4 years.

Match

Kévin Denkey the difference as FC Cincinnati beat Inter Miami CF

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kévin Denkey. 2‑1 against Inter Miami CF, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

In brief
