Ghanaian striker Kelvin Yeboah found the back of the net for Minnesota United, but his contribution wasn’t enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati in Thursday’s Major League Soccer clash at Allianz Field.
Yeboah, who joined Minnesota United in July, played the full match and was one of the key performers for his side. However, FC Cincinnati struck first, with Yuya Kubo scoring in the 34th minute off a Chidozie Awaziem assist.
Luca Orellano then doubled the visitors’ lead just before halftime.
In the second half, Yeboah converted a penalty in the 54th minute, pulling one back for Minnesota United. Despite their best efforts, the home side couldn’t find an equalizer, and Cincinnati secured all three points.
The 24-year-old forward has now scored three goals and provided one assist in just three appearances for Minnesota United.
Although Yeboah has represented Italy at the U21 level, he remains eligible to switch allegiance and play for the Black Stars.
As the season progresses, Yeboah will look to maintain his strong form and continue making an impact for Minnesota United.
