Scores opener Saturday
Bucha scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC.
Analysis: Bucha scored his fifth goal of the season Saturday, an outside-the-box strike in the 23rd minute which opened up the scoring. It was the only shot he took in the match. He was active on the defensive end too as he won two tackles, made two clearances and intercepted one pass in his full 90 minutes of action.
Standout with first brace of season
Bucha scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one corner in Wednesday's 4-3 win versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 41st minute.
Analysis: Bucha was the standout performer of the night, opening the scoring and wrapping it up with Cincinnati's fourth goal to claim his first brace of the season and only the second of his MLS career. His recent deployment as a right wing back has unlocked a new level of output, with seven goal contributions across his last eight appearances including three goals and four assists, and the fact that all three goals have come from his three shots on target speaks to an extraordinary level of clinical efficiency.
