Impact It was simply a bad day in the office for Celentano and Cincinnati on Saturday as the team conceded at least three goals for the second time this season. The icing on the cake was Celentano's own goal after a long-range Rasmus Alm effort hit the post and bounced off the goalkeeper's back to land in the back of the net. Despite this blowout defeat, Celentano has kept five clean sheets in eight MLS matches this season and just received his first USMNT call-up so he is capable of bouncing back from this performance against the Timbers next weekend.
