FC Cincinnati will play its second match of the week against in-form Real Salt Lake. Coach Pat Noonan said the team recovered well ahead of it.

After a gutsy 1-0 road win in Portland midweek, Real Salt Lake returns to America First Field on Saturday night to host second-place FC Cincinnati in what promises to be a high-octane, high-stakes showdown.

FC Cincinnati star midfielder Evander and head coach Pat Noonan were named to the Major League Soccer Team of the Matchday after Wednesday's win over Lionel Messi and Inter Miami.

Evander scored a goal from outside the box Saturday night. Moments like that have become common for the All-Star midfielder.

Evander scored his second brace of the week as a banged up FC Cincinnati side secured a 2-1 victory against Orlando City SC.

On the field, Evander’s play has been vital for FC Cincinnati, but off the pitch, his quality has become indispensable.

FC Cincinnati midfielder Evander and defender Miles Robinson were selected Wednesday to the 26-player roster for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game.

Inter Miami is looking to extend their winning streak after the Club World Cup as Lionel Messi is also aiming to set a new record.
