Kenji Mboma Dem scored twice as FC Cincinnati defeated O&M FC 9-0 on Wednesday, clinching a 13-0 aggregate win in their first-round CONCACAF Champions Cup series.
Cincinnati had already won 4-0 in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, on February 18. This strong performance advances the team to the Round of 16, where they will face Mexico’s Tigres UANL.
Mboma Dem started the scoring in the 18th minute, receiving a pass from Obinna Nwobodo and finishing with a right-footed shot from 8 yards.
By halftime, the score was 4-0, with goals from Gerardo Valenzuela (27th minute) and Tom Barlow (35th), along with an own goal by O&M’s Gabriel Castillo.
Additional goals came from Ademar Chavez (48th minute), Mboma Dem (58th minute), Stiven Jimenez (68th minute), Alvas Powell (78th minute), and Stefan Chirila (86th minute).
The night worsened for O&M when substitute Hector Ramirez received a straight red card for a tackle in the 82nd minute.
