Deadspin | Evander’s hat trick, late PK boost Cincinnati over Fire May 2, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; FC Cincinnati midfielder Evander (10) scores a goal during the first half against the Chicago Fire FC at Soldier Field. Mandatory Credit: Talia Sprague-Imagn Images Evander converted a penalty kick seven minutes into second-half stoppage time to secure a hat trick and lift FC Cincinnati to a 3-2 road win over the Chicago Fire on Saturday. Evander collected a brace in the first half and then added his third goal for the late winner. A yellow card was issued to Chicago’s Dje D’Avilla for a foul in the box on Pavel Bucha, leading to the deciding penalty kick. The winning goal came six minutes after Chicago striker Hugo Cuypers missed his own chance to complete a hat trick with a penalty-kick strike. Goalkeeper Roman Celentano (eight saves) made a huge save to deny Cuypers and preserve the 2-2 score. FC Cincinnati (4-4-3, 15 points) won despite playing with only 10 men for most of the second half. Defender Kyle Smith was issued a straight red card in the 56th minute for an accidental kick to the face of the Fire’s Robin Lod. Cincinnati is unbeaten in its last five (2-0-3) matches, including a 3-3 draw with the Fire two weeks prior. The victory was Cincinnati’s first win in six road matches this season (1-3-2). FC Cincinnati are 5-0-1 in their last six trips to Chicago. The Fire (5-3-2, 17 points) have held leads in all three of their losses this season. Saturday’s defeat ended a five-match (4-0-1) unbeaten streak for the home side. After going scoreless in his first six regular-season matches, Evander now has five goals in his last four matches. Cuypers has 10 goals in seven league matches this season, scoring at least once in every appearance. Cuypers’ three straight matches with multiple goals ties the second-longest brace streak in MLS history. The forward started early Saturday, as Cuypers converted a shot that deflected off Smith and into the net in the 16th minute. Shaky defending also aided in Evander’s equalizer in the 24th minute. During a scramble in front of the Fire’s net, Chicago center back Mbekezeli Mbokazi made a poor touch on a clearance attempt that put the ball right at Evander’s feet for the finish. Cuypers completed the brace four minutes later, but Evander provided another quick response in the 31st minute. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Evanders #hat #trick #late #boost #Cincinnati #FireMay 2, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; FC Cincinnati midfielder Evander (10) scores a goal during the first half against the Chicago Fire FC at Soldier Field.

There was relief for Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe in a week ​in which he met chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan to discuss the ‌club’s future plans as it defeated Brighton & ​Hove Albion 3-1 in the Premier League ⁠at St James’ Park on Saturday.

The victory ends a run of five straight defeats in all competitions for Newcastle ‌and will ease the pressure on Howe, at the same time catapulting the side back ‌into the equation for European football next ‌season.

Goals ⁠from William Osula, Dan Burn against his ⁠former side and Harvey Barnes sealed three points against an in-form Brighton team that had won six and drawn one of ​its previous eight Premier ‌League fixtures.

Newcastle rode its luck at times with uncertain goalkeeping from Nick Pope and several misses from Brighton, not least Yankuba Minteh, who blazed over ‌from a few metres out at the ​back post with the score at 2-1.

“It felt very good, in the changing room ⁠before the game we knew today was important for us, chasing European football for next season. The points ‌are crucial, we keep dreaming and believing,” Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes said.

“It was a tough game, Brighton are a good team. Today for everything we have done, we deserve the win. They had a lot of chances. In the first half we ‌were better but second half they were better. I am ​glad we could keep three points.”

Newcastle climbs to 13th place with 45 points from 35 ⁠games, now five points behind seventh-placed Brighton.

“We are looking ⁠up not down. We can still play European football next season, we must win the ‌next three games,” Guimaraes said.

Newcastle travels to Nottingham Forest and Fulham, and has a home game ​against West Ham United remaining this season.
