With the win, FC Cincinnati finishes second in Group E and advances to the "knockout stage" of the tournament.
Cincinnati will play the winner of Group F, either Los Angeles FC or the Portland Timbers after their match at 10:30 p.m. on July 28 in the round of 16.
It’s impossible to overstate how big this is for the club.
