Corey Baird - Attempts three shotsBaird generated three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Toronto FC.

Luciano Acosta - Nine crosses, three shotsAcosta registered three shots (one on goal), nine crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Toronto FC.
ImpactDespite being unable to log a goal or an assist Sunday, Acosta was easily FC Cincinnati's best player in terms of offensive production, an unsurprising turnout considering his 2023 output. After taking home MVP honors with 18 goals and 12 assists that year, 2024 is not expected to be much different, especially with how Acosta began the year by serving as a top option.
