Atlanta United FC 1–3 FC Cincinnati

Kevin Denkey's double sealed it, but it was Atlanta's late collapse that defined this one. FC Cincinnati trailed on the road before Denkey leveled things in the 52nd minute, and even Miguel Almirón's response for Atlanta United FC couldn't hold the away side off. Tom Barlow put Cincinnati ahead in the 84th, and Denkey added his second in the seventh minute of stoppage time to turn a tight Major League Soccer contest into a 3-1 statement. The result flips the head-to-head ledger between these two sides, who'd split their last two meetings evenly. Cincinnati arrived on a run of five straight games without a win, while Atlanta had looked sharper lately with a win in their previous outing — none of that mattered once Denkey took over in the second half. Neither side is near the Messi-chasing summit of the league's scoring charts, but Denkey just gave himself a case for climbing it. Watch how he turns a half-chance into his second in the 97th minute, the goal that actually broke this game open.
