90' | Sub ON: Kenji Mboma Dem OFF: Evander #AllForCincy | #CINvDC | 2-1 https://t.co/aifxK7tjCT Via @fccincinnati on X

What happened: The late regulation change introduces fresh legs to manage the one-goal margin at the end of the second half.

Why it matters: Protecting a narrow lead in the MLS postseason places a premium on late-game energy through added time. Mboma Dem has regularly served as a second-half bench option in recent matches, while Evander exits prior to stoppage time.

By the numbers: Across three tracked appearances since Oct. 15, Mboma Dem has entered in the 45th, 59th, and 90th minutes, while Evander logged a 68th-minute entry on Oct. 15 before his 90th-minute exit on Oct. 22.

What to watch: Four minutes of stoppage time remain to decide the 2-1 postseason match.
