David Douděra and Teenage Hadebe Score to Help Cincinnati Beat D.C. United 2-1 in Rescheduled Game
David Douděra and Teenage Hadebe scored their first MLS goals as Cincinnati moved into ninth in the Eastern Conference.
On Wednesday, Cincinnati defeated D.C. United 2-1, with goals from David Doudera and Teenage Hadebe propelling the team into ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Doudera opened the scoring in the 14th minute when a deflected ball fell to his feet at the far post. D.C. United defender Kimito Nono equalized in the 38th before Hadebe restored the lead in the 55th.
Originally scheduled for September 5, the match faced postponement due to heavy rains and pitch conditions creating player safety concerns in the Cincinnati area.
Cincinnati improved to a 10-11-9 record and now occupies ninth place in the Eastern Conference, maintaining hopes of clinching a playoff spot for the fifth consecutive season.
The teams will meet again for a rematch this Saturday. D.C. United remains in 13th place and has not qualified for the postseason since 2019.
