Togolese striker Kévin Denkey delivered a standout performance as FC Cincinnati defeated Tigres UANL 3–0 in the Round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Friday night.
Denkey set the tone early for the American side, opening the scoring in the 6th minute after finishing a move assisted by E. Echenique. The early strike gave Cincinnati momentum and put Tigres under immediate pressure.
The Togolese forward continued to influence the game throughout the night. In the 53rd minute, Denkey turned provider, setting up T. Barlow for Cincinnati’s second goal to double the lead and further tighten the hosts’ grip on the match.
Denkey then capped off a brilliant individual display late in the contest. In the 83rd minute, he struck again, finishing a move assisted by G. Valenzuela to seal the 3–0 victory and complete his brace.
