Cincinnati form and stats
Only two Major League Soccer home games for Cincinnati so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

At Nippert Stadium, Cincinnati has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Koné scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 30 successful passes (of 36 total).
