Orellano, Acosta rally Cincinnati to 2
ATLANTA (AP) — Luca Orellano scored the first goal of his career with an assist from Luciano Acosta and Acosta added the go-ahead score two minutes later as FC Cincinnati rallied for a 2-1 victory over Atlanta United on Saturday night.
Neither team scored until Thiago Almada used an assist from Edwin Mosquero in the 59th minute to find the net for the second time this season and give Atlanta United (3-3-2) the lead. Mosquero, making his first start of the campaign, set up Almada’s right-footed shot from outside the box to the bottom right corner.
Orellano, a 24-year-old rookie forward, took a pass from Acosta and scored the equalizer in the 62nd minute. Acosta gave Cincinnati (4-2-3) the lead in the 64th. Acosta’s third goal of the season came with assists from defender DeAndre Yedlin and former Atlanta United defender Miles Robinson, making his eighth start in his first season with Cincinnati. Acosta has nine career goals against Atlanta United, his most against any club.
