The reported result swung hard after halftime. The score summary listed a 2-1 first half and a 4-1 second-half split, split stats that explain how FC Cincinnati pulled away after the interval in this MLS meeting. That shape of the match mattered as much as the headline number: it was close early, then turned into one of the night's bigger attacking highlights.
The report says Evander Da Silva Ferreira drove much of the damage, finishing twice and setting up three more, while Kenji Mboma Dem was also credited with a brace as Cincinnati's pressure told. For Orlando City SC, the score still included two goals, but the visitors were said to have struggled once the game opened up. The overall summary was a sharp attacking surge from the home side and a result that moved well beyond Orlando after the break.
