FC Cincinnati 2 fell to Orlando City B, 2-1, Sunday night at Scudamore Field at NKU Soccer Stadium. The result snaps a two-match unbeaten run at home for FCC 2 and marks the first time since 2023 that the Orange and Blue have suffered defeat against OCB.
Issah Haruna’s 19th minute goal for OCB gave the visitor’s a 1-0 halftime lead before Deiver Mosquera brought things level just past the hour mark with his first goal for FCC 2 in the 63rd minute. Mosquera made a darting run into the Orlando box before blasting a shot past a sliding defender at the near post.
The Lions would score the eventual match winner in the 75th minute of play as forward Matthew Belgodere struck from close range.
The Orange and Blue travel to face Toronto FC II on Friday, July 17 at York Lions Stadium at 7 p.m. ET. FCC 2 earned an emphatic 5-0 win the last time the two sides played this season. The match will stream live on OneFootball platforms and on MLSNEXTPro.com.
