CINCINNATI (AP) — Kevin Denkey scored his second goal of the game in stoppage time for FC Cincinnati in a 3-3 tie with Charlotte FC on Saturday night.
Pavel Bucha opened the scoring in the second minute for Cincinnati.
Liel Abada, Pep Biel and Idan Toklomati scored goals for Charlotte (11-7-7), which is unbeaten in seven straight. Kristijan Kahlina had six saves.
Abada, who has scored in back-to-back games and three of the last four, went off due to injury in the 44th minute and was replaced by Rodolfo Aloko.
Denkey, who redirected a shot by Andrei Chirila into the net in the 51st, tapped in a volley off a corner kick played in by Bryan Ramírez to cap the scoring. Denkey, who has 12 goals this season, scored for the first time since July 25 in a 2-1 loss to Columbus.
Aloko saved a ball from going out of bounds with a centering volley from the right end line to Toklomati for a header from point-blank range in the 55th minute.
Cincinnati (8-8-8), which is winless in four straight, had lost back-to-back games by a combined score of 9-0.
The teams played to a 2-2 tie at Bank of America Stadium on May 9.
