New league, familiar debut for Locadia• As was the case for the Eredivisie and the Premier League, forward Jurgen Locadia

wasted little time introducing his goal-scoring prowess to Major League Soccer• Locadia scored just 19 minutes into his FC Cincinnati debut, giving the Dutch striker

a goal in his league debut for the third time in his career ... Locadia notched a hat trick and added an assist in 22 minutes of playing time at VVV-Venlo on Sept. 30, 2012 ... he also scored in eight minutes of playing time against Swansea City on Feb. 24, 2018

• The Dutchman also scored in his professional debut in a Dutch Cup second-round match at VVSB Noordwijkerhout on Sept. 21, 2011 at the age of 17

Second-half surge signals improvement• FC Cincinnati scored not one, but two goals in the second half in their season

opener at New York on March 1• That match marked the first time FC Cincinnati scored multiple goals in the second

half of a match since the Orange and Blue defeated the Portland Timbers, 3-0, on March 17, 2019

• Overall, it marked just the fourth time FCC have scored multiple goals in a single half ... In addition to the two already mentioned matches, the Orange and Blue tallied twice in the first half against Houston on July 6, 2019 and also in the first half at Columbus on Aug, 10, 2019

First multi-goal comeback still awaits• On three separate occasions in their first two matches, FC Cincinnati narrowed a

two-goal deficit ... the Orange and Blue, however, were unable to level the scoreline at any point in the two matches

• Through 37 all-time MLS regular-season matches, FC Cincinnati are 0-22-0 when trailing by more than one goal in a match

Five FCC debuts highlight season opener• Five FC Cincinnati players made their first-ever appearance for the club in the

season opener at New York: Yuya Kubo, Haris Medunjanin, Adrien Regattin, Brandon Vazquez and Jurgen Locadia

• Kubo, Regattin and Locadia also made their first-ever appearances in MLS• Medunjanin (Philadelphia Union) and Vazquez (Atlanta United FC) both joined FC

Cincinnati in the offseason after spending the previous three seasons with their first-ever MLS clubs

Richey, Manneh return after lengthy absences• After missing significant minutes last season following injuries, Spencer Richey

and Kekuta Manneh returned to FC Cincinnati’s 18-man matchday roster in the club’s season opener at New York

• Richey, who started for the Orange and Blue against New England on July 21, 2019, missed the final 12 matches of the regular season after suffering a back injury ... the goalkeeper made three saves for the Orange and Blue in his return

• Manneh, who made his final 2019 appearance on Sept. 18, 2019, missed the final three matches of the regular season after undergoing a successful surgical procedure on his right shoulder ... the winger played 11 minutes as a second-half substitute

Back four back for more• The starting defenders in FC Cincinnati’s season opener – Mathieu Deplagne, Ken-

dall Waston, Maikel van der Werff and Greg Garza – were the only starting position group who had previously started matches as a unit

• FC Cincinnati are now 1-2-1 all-time in matches when the foursome starts on the backline ... in their first two matches – at Montreal on Sept. 14, 2019 and against Chicago on Sept. 21, 2019 – the four players posted a pair of clean sheets

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING“Well, as a coach, you’re always picking up things, and you’re holding onto things that are going well. Of course, we also see things that we need to improve, that we need to do better. You know, the things that we did well, we need to build from that, and we could have done during the game, the same things as the first 15-20 minutes. The only thing is of course, that if in the mindset of players or when there’s disappointment, and then when you go behind a couple of times, it’s difficult to change that and still do the same thing ... You know, about the first 20 minutes, I’m very happy. I can see also in the second half with all the subs that we made as well that players still want to go, and then they tried to put the work in and tried to do their best.”- FCC head coach Jaap Stam on positives to take away from FCC’s last match

“Well, it’s a tough match. For the first game to end like this doesn’t feel good, of course. I think we started off OK. We played well between the lines, creat-ed opportunities to go forward and I think during the game, the opportunities we got to go forward, I think we need to be a little bit more effective and a little bit more patient in those moments.”- FCC midfielder Siem de Jong on his first match with FC Cincinnati

“Obviously, it’s our first game, a new coach coming into the tournament. I think there’s a lot to take away from the first game. Obviously, the result is not what we wanted, but there are things for us to build on. There were definitely some positives in there, in the first 15 to 20 minutes, I thought we played as a team very well. Got in between the lines, opened up some chances for ourselves, and I think as the game continued after the free-kick we just got a little discouraged. I think that is something for us to learn as a new team and build on going forward.”- FCC defender Saad Abdul-Salaam following FCC’s match against Columbus

Restructured roster for 2020• As the club is in the midst of its second MLS season, the makeup of the roster is

• A total of 14 players are no longer with the club, while 11 new players have been added this season

• Of the new players, FC Cincinnati have added one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards to create depth and balance across the entire roster

• In addition, he has made a combined 14 appearances in UEFA Europa League match-es with FC Toulouse (2009), Osmanlispor FK (2016-17) and Akhisarspor (2018)

Siems like a good fit• FC Cincinnati added the fourth major piece to their attacking puzzle by adding

veteran attacking midfielder Siem de Jong• De Jong comes to FC Cincinnati following 277 appearances for Eredivisie giants

Ajax across 10 seasons• Shortly after his signing, de Jong told fccincinnati.com’s Charlie Hatch that he felt

comfortable fitting into FC Cincinnati’s possession-based style of play the club is implementing

• “The system they want to play is quite similar to the Dutch system, and yeah, Ajax is probably one of the teams that perfected it,” de Jong said. “Over the years I played there, I’ve learned a lot about this similar philosophy and trying to build up from the back in the Dutch style of play. That was one of the reasons why FC Cincinnati was a good fit for me.”

Garza proved crucial in 2019• Of all 29 players to suit up for the Orange and Blue during the club’s inaugural

campaign, Greg Garza was the only FC Cincinnati player to secure at least a point in more than half his starts
