FC Cincinnati News Release


FC Cincinnati defender Miles Robinson has been named to the MLS Team of the Matchday for Matchday 1, the league announced Monday.

The center back captained FC Cincinnati to a 2-0 shutout win over Atlanta United FC in front of a sellout crowd at TQL Stadium on Saturday.

Robinson was dominant in the clean sheet, holding the Atlanta attack intact, recording two interceptions, seven recoveries and winning each of his ground duels.

"[Miles] was probably our top performer," Head Coach Pat Noonan said in his postmatch press conference. "He played at a very, very high level tonight, getting so many plays right. ... That was a captain-like performance."

The honor is the sixth Team of the Matchday honor in Robinson's FC Cincinnati career.
