Since then, he has appeared in 101 matches across all competitions for the Orange and Blue, racking up 31 goals and 40 assists. He's having the best season of his career in 2023, leading the league in goal contributions with 25 across 27 appearances, thanks to his 14 goals and 11 assists. He ranks in the Top 4 in both categories. Cincinnati already secured a playoff berth, and Acosta is expected to play a pivotal role in what promises to be a deep postseason run for Cincy.

Brandon Vazquez - Nets equalizer versus Philadelphia Vazquez scored a goal off seven shots (three on target), created one chance and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Philadelphia.
Impact Vazquez was arguably the best man on the pitch here, being a constant threat and pacing all players in shots attempted. And the reward for the striker's efforts came in the 76th minute, when the defense failed to clear a pass from the left flank and allowed Vazquez to anticipate the goalkeeper to score the goal that sealed the 2-2 draw. With two goals over his last three starts, he's showing signs of improvement after a very slow start of campaign compared to what was done last year.

Yuya Kubo - Logs assist versus Philadelphia Kubo made an assist, had one off-target shot, created two chances and suffered three fouls during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Philadelphia.
Impact Kubo returned to Cincinnati's lineup after coming off the bench during the previous match. And the playmaker made most of the new opportunity, being involved in a pair of dangerous actions, which included assisting Aaron Boupendza for his side's first goal. This was the third assist of the campaign for Kubo, who keeps struggling to find a regular role on the team. He'll hope to remain in the lineup for Wednesday's visit to Montreal.

Impact Boupendza was brought as part of a double halftime substitution and needed just four minutes to make an impact as he slotted home a pass from the left flank to cut opposition's lead to just one goal. That's now three goals over five MLS appearances (just two starts) for the forward, who keeps impressing since joining Cincinnati from Saudi Arabia.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Roman Celentano - Concedes two versus Philadelphia Celentano made three saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Philadelphia.
Impact Celentano got beaten twice during the first half but wasn't at fault for either goal as the first one came off a brilliant long-range strike and the second was scored from the penalty spot. With 10 clean sheets over 28 regular season starts, the goalkeeper is looking solid in his second campaign as a full-time starter for Cincinnati and he'll try to help his side bouncing back during Wednesday's visit to Montreal.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luciano Acosta - Eligible to return Acosta completed his one-game ban and is eligible to face Montreal on Wednesday.
Impact The return of Acosta, a legit MVP candidate, will provide a massive boost for Cincinnati. His return to the lineup means Yuya Kubo should move back to the bench.
