Alex Freeman’s Stoppage Time Header Earns Orlando City 1-1 Draw with Cincinnati

On Sunday, a header by Alex Freeman in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time rescued a 1-1 draw for Orlando City at TQL Stadium in front of 24,135 fans.
Kevin Denkey put Cincinnati ahead with his 14th goal in the 73rd minute, finishing a pass from Evander Da Silva Ferreira.
Despite possession, Orlando City outshot FC Cincinnati 22-19 and led the expected-goal metric 3.7 to 2.1, reflecting the visiting team’s late pressure.
The result prevented FC Cincinnati from clinching a top-four seed and home field for Games 1 and 3 in the first-round best-of-three series beginning Oct. 24, though the team needs one point the rest of the way.
Cincinnati travels to the New York Red Bulls on Oct. 4 while Orlando City, already playoff-qualified, returns home to host the Columbus Crew on Saturday.
