CST Episode 404 – Denkey “Doink” Gives FCC the W in Opening MLS Match

Though the match was far from flawless, Cincinnati stole their first ever home win against RBNY at TQL in their MLS home opener of 2025. Stats would show RBNY with the advantage in most categories, but stats don’t always matter with a player like Kevin Denkey wreaking havoc on the Red Bull back line. And in the end, it was Celentano with the clean sheet and Denkey with the game winner on a header reminiscent of Djibi Fall’s double doink that knocked the Crew from the Open Cup and put FCC in the national spotlight. 

This is episode 404 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk and our hosts, Brian, Coach, Nick, and José, along with special guest, Alejandro Delgado from @nacionfcc9313, are here to talk about the team we all love and their win against a team we all love to hate.
