FC Cincinnati News Release
FC Cincinnati wing back Álvaro Barreal has been named to the MLS Team of the Matchday for Matchday 37, the league announced Monday.
Barreal earns his eighth nod on the weekly honor after netting the lone goal in Saturday night's 1-0 win over Inter Miami CF. Barreal's first-time shot off a deflection from Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender was perfectly placed into the side netting for the game-winning goal.
Across all competitions, Barreal has scored six goals this season, five of which have served as game-winning goals for the Orange and Blue.
The 2023 All-Star was also key in the Orange and Blue's 12th clean sheet of the season. Barreal won nine possessions in the shutout performance.
Barreal's performance is the 41st recognition of an FC Cincinnati player or coach on the weekly team this season. A full list of 2023 FC Cincinnati matchday honors:
