Sun Mar 16 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## FC Cincinnati Aims for Historic Road Win in Charlotte
**CHARLOTTE, NC –** FC Cincinnati travels to Charlotte, North Carolina, tonight to face Charlotte FC, seeking their first-ever road victory against their Eastern Conference rivals. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, airing on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV and locally on ESPN 1530 and 97.7 FM La Mega.
The match comes on the heels of Cincinnati’s elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup, with the team eager to refocus on league play. Their designated players, Kévin Denkey and Evander, have been instrumental in their success, combining for 10 of the team’s 11 goals across all competitions this season. Denkey leads the team with four goals.
Meanwhile, midfielder Pavel Bucha recently celebrated his 50th appearance for FC Cincinnati, a significant milestone for the club. His consistent performance has been crucial to the team’s success.
Cincinnati boasts an impressive record on artificial turf, unbeaten in their last 10 matches. This is a significant improvement from their earlier struggles on this surface. Their last MLS regular season loss on artificial turf was against Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium.
Captain Miles Robinson leads the team in distance covered during matches, showcasing his tireless work ethic. Pavel Bucha closely follows in total distance covered despite playing significantly fewer minutes.
FC Cincinnati is aiming to build on their remarkable 2024 season, where they set a club record with 11 away wins, earning 35 points—a total matched only by Inter Miami CF that year and CF Montreal in 2022. However, they’ll need to improve on their season opener, a 4-1 road loss to the Philadelphia Union. A win in Charlotte would be a significant step towards replicating their previous season’s success.
