Andrei Chirila scored in two minutes into second-half stoppage time and Evander converted a penalty kick three minutes later, helping FC Cincinnati rally to a 4-4 draw against host New York City FC on Wednesday.

Chirila, a 17-year-old homegrown defender, converted from outside the box for his first career MLS goal in his second match. NYCFC’s Kevin O’Toole subsequently was whistled for a foul in the penalty area, setting up Evander’s heroics.

FC Cincinnati’s Kevin Denkey scored two goals in his return from a suspension due to yellow-card accumulation.

Roman Celentano made five saves for FC Cincinnati (2-4-3, 9 points), who are 0-3-2 on the road this season.

NYCFC’s Nicolas Fernandez scored two goals in the first half to boost his team-leading goal total to eight in nine matches. Fernandez, who scored three goals in 11 matches last season, became the fourth player in franchise history to score at least 10 goals within his first 20 regular-season appearances.

Agustin Ojeda and Talles Magno tallied in the second half and Matthew Freese turned aside two shots for NYCFC (3-3-3, 12 points), who are winless in their past five matches in MLS play (0-3-2).

Fernandez gave NYCFC a 2-1 lead in the 35th minute after running into a through ball from Maxi Moralez and sending a shot past the extended right leg of Celentano.

Ojeda extended NYCFC’s advantage in the 53rd minute after chasing down a through ball from Aiden O’Neill before scoring from a sharp angle.

Denkey converted a loose ball following a free kick by Evander to trim NYCFC’s lead to 3-2 in the 65th minute, but Magno deftly curled a shot into the far corner of the net in the 79th minute.

In the 20th minute, Celentano was unable to cleanly field a twisting service, and Fernandez alertly deposited the loose ball into the net to open the scoring.

Denkey forged a 1-1 tie 12 minutes later, a converting a cross from Ender Echenique with a leaping left-footed finish at the doorstep.

Mark Vientos redeemed himself for an earlier baserunning miscue by delivering the tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and the host New York Mets snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

The losing streak was the longest for the Mets since a 12-game skid from Aug. 10-23, 2002.

However, the much-needed victory may have been costly for New York, which lost shortstop Francisco Lindor due to left calf tightness after he scored from first on Francisco Alvarez’s double in the fourth inning.

Lindor, who was 2-for-2 with an RBI infield single in the first, was injured the same night Juan Soto returned from a 15-game absence caused by a strained right calf. The Mets won their first three games after Soto was injured on April 3 before beginning their losing streak.

Soto went 1-for-3 with a walk but was picked off for the second out of the eighth following his single. Brett Baty and Alvarez kept the inning afloat by drawing walks against Taylor Rogers (0-1) and Justin Topa, respectively, before Vientos’ bloop single to right scored Baty.

Vientos was thrown out at home by several feet for the final out of the sixth after running through third base coach Tim Leiper’s stop sign on Marcus Semien’s double.

Luke Weaver (2-0) threw the final 1 1/3 innings for the Mets. The right-hander, who also was the winning pitcher in New York’s previous victory on April 7, got Luke Keaschall to pop up with the bases loaded to end the top of the eighth. He allowed Brooks Lee’s two-out single in the ninth before striking out Byron Buxton to end the game.

Victor Caratini lofted a game-tying sacrifice fly in the fourth for the Twins, who have lost five of their past six. Buxton knotted the game again with a solo homer in the sixth.

Mets starter Clay Holmes gave up two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings. Twins starter Connor Prielipp allowed two runs on four hits and no walks while fanning six in his major league debut.

Peyton Miller’s 78th-minute goal was the match-winner as the visiting New England Revolution defeated Atlanta United, 2-1, on Wednesday night.

Carles Gil assisted on both goals for the Revolution (5-3-0, 15 points), who extended their winning streak to four matches. They also snapped a six-match road losing streak dating back to 2025.

Atlanta (1-7-1, 4 points) dropped its fourth league match in a row and has gone winless in its last five MLS matches (0-4-1).

The 18-year-old Miller scored his team-high third goal of the season on a cross from Gil from the left side of the scoring area. The United States youth international chipped it over Atlanta goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos to make it 2-1 Revs.

The goal came shortly after Will Sands scored a 73rd-minute equalizer. Gil’s corner kick met Sands’ head and, with Hoyos off his line, it sailed into the net to make it 1-1. It was Sands’ first career goal.

Atlanta scored the match’s first goal after the Revs’ Alhassan Yusuf had his would-be opener disallowed on an offside call.

After Pedro Amador got on the end of a cross from Alexey Miranchuk, he fed it to Saba Lobjanidze in front of the goal. Revs goalkeeper Matt Turner parried away Lobjanidze’s point-blank attempt before Fafa Picault had a simple finish on the rebound to make it 1-0. It was Picault’s second goal with Atlanta United across all competitions.

Atlanta had an opportunity to equalize in second-half stoppage time, but Matt Turner stopped Emmanuel Latte Lath’s volleyed attempt.

Turner ended the evening with eight saves. Hoyos was credited with two saves for Atlanta.

With the loss, Atlanta United’s record in their last 13 matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium fell to 1-6-6.

Wednesday marked New England’s first road win since a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on August 23, 2025.
