Playing in a 4-3-3 formation, Minnesota dominated the shot count with 16 attempts to Cincinnati's 13, generating an expected goals advantage of 2.02 to 0.83. Kelvin Yeboah converted one of Minnesota's five shots on target, while Cincinnati's 3-5-2 setup struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, managing only four shots on target. Minnesota's goalkeeper delivered a commanding performance with an 80 per cent save percentage, recording 1.01 goals saved above expected goals and conceding just 2.01 post-shot expected goals. The visitors' defensive shape limited Minnesota's dominance in the final third, yet the hosts' clinical finishing and shot volume ultimately separated the sides. Referee Marcos de Oliveira oversaw a relatively straightforward contest. Minnesota's win extends their unbeaten run at home.
