Concedes once in win
Celentano allowed a goal while making two saves during Wednesday's 2-1 win over DC United.
Analysis: Celentano allowed a goal in the 38th minute but was backed with two goals as Cincinnati came away with all three points. The keeper has allowed six goals while combining for four saves over his last three starts. Cincinnati face United again, this time away from home, on Saturday.
Concedes twice Sunday
Celentano recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Celentano made his return to the pitch Sunday after sitting on the bench the last two matches. He didn't exactly make a great case for himself as he conceded two goals and failed to make a save. He's now conceded 19 goals and made just eight saves across his last six starts.
Benched against Atlanta
Celentano was on the bench for Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta United.
Analysis: Celentano was not in the starting XI for Cincinnati on Saturday, with their typical starter benched after five straight bad matches, allowing three or more goals in four games during that stretch. This is a bit of a shock for the keeper after five straight years of a starting role, potentially losing the role to end the season. However, that is yet to be decided, with a clearer outlook likely following Wednesday's match against New England.
Concedes three goals
Celentano registered two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus CF Montreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 71st minute.
Analysis: Celentano did make a few saves but ultimately was not able to stop much of what Montreal put up in a 3-1 loss. Things will be a bit easier in the next matchup against Atlanta United, a team that has only scored 32 goals across 27 MLS matches.
No saves in draw
Celentano had no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Celentano failed to make a single save during Saturday's draw, and was left disappointed. It's a day to forget for the goalkeeper, who really should have earned the win with a slightly better showing. Celentano has the chance to bounce back against Montreal next time out.
Concedes three
Celentano recorded one save and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Celentano recorded one save and one clearance and conceded thrice. He has now recorded eight saves in the last four games, conceding 13 times. Next, he takes on Houston Dynamo.
Saves four, concedes four in loss
Celentano made four saves in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville SC.
Analysis: Celentano and FC Cincinnati were throttled on the road by an in-form Nashville SC side. They're in a good bounce-back spot at home on Saturday against a D.C. United attack that has scored just one goal across their last three matches.
Makes two saves Saturday
Celentano made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Celentano was seven minutes away from what would've been his first MLS clean sheet since April 25. Instead, a late goal from Kalani Kossa-Rienzi in the 83rd minute extended his run of games without a shutout to 11 contests. Celentano will have a tough matchup next week when they take on Nashville SC, one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, on Saturday.
Seven saves against New York City
Celentano made seven saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Celentano was FC Cincinnati's busiest player in Wednesday's 2-1 win over NYCFC, making seven saves across 90 minutes to keep his side in the match throughout a game where NYCFC generated sustained attacking pressure and registered multiple clear-cut chances, with his best stops coming to deny Luighi twice from close range after the Brazilian's equalizer. The American goalkeeper has now gone ten consecutive MLS matches without a clean sheet and made 15 saves across his last three appearances, a workload that reflects the defensive vulnerability his side is managing, but Wednesday's win keeps Cincinnati fifth in the Eastern Conference heading into the Seattle Sounders fixture.
Concedes once in draw
Celentano had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Orlando City SC.
Analysis: Celentano conceded one goal in Sunday's draw, breaking an eight-match streak of conceding multiple goals. He made four saves versus Orlando, helping his side earn an important road point. He faces an important matchup Wednesday versus New York City FC, a side which has scored 33 goals through 19 matches this season.
Makes no saves in win
Celentano made no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory over San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Celentano had a quiet outing and made no saves at all for the first time in 16 starts, but conceded twice in the home win. The goalkeeper still has only two clean sheets over that span. He will now look to keep the momentum at Orlando on Aug 15.
Concedes twice Saturday
Celentano had four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Celentano conceded a pair of goals Saturday, both of which came shortly before halftime. Jamal Thiare scored a close-range header in the 41st minute, then Daniel Gazdag converted a penalty just before the halftime whistle. Celentano also made four saves in the rivalry loss. He'll look to bounce back Saturday versus San Jose, a side which has scored 35 goals through 17 matches this season.
Struggles persist despite win
Celentano recorded three saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 4-3 victory versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: Celentano produced three saves but shipped three goals in another difficult outing as Cincinnati's defensive struggles showed no sign of easing. The goalkeeper has now let in 33 goals across 14 league games this season, a rate that puts him firmly on track to eclipse his previous single season high of 45 goals conceded across 34 appearances. Saturday's clash against Columbus Crew is next on the agenda.
Makes seven saves against Orlando
Celentano recorded seven saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Orlando City.
Analysis: Celentano failed to stop a couple of set-piece shots, but he was very active between the posts Saturday, registering his second-most saves in a single game over 13 matches played this campaign. The keeper has had a tough initial stretch of the season, playing behind a vulnerable back line that has allowed at least four shots on target in each game while ranking 29th in the league with 37 goals against. Up next is a difficult test against Vancouver in the first game week after the World Cup break.
Two saves against San Diego
Celentano registered two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus San Diego FC.
Analysis: Celentano made two saves in Saturday's 3-3 draw at Snapdragon Stadium, conceding three times despite getting a strong hand to Amahl Pellegrino's one-on-one right-footed strike in the second half. Celentano has now conceded 28 goals, made 44 saves and kept two clean sheets across 12 MLS appearances this season, and he will look to bounce back in the next match against Orlando.
Poor in loss
Celentano recorded one save and allowed five goals, but also an own goal in Wednesday's 5-3 defeat to Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Celentano faced five shots, allowed four goals and scored an own goal during Wednesday's loss. It was a day to forget for both goalkeepers to say the least, as they combined for a single save. With two elite attacking units this was always going to be a high-scoring affair, and Celentano just couldn't slow down Miami.
Two saves in 2-2 draw
Celentano had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Celentano made two saves but conceded twice as Cincinnati drew 2-2 with Charlotte. This season, he has kept two clean sheets in his 10 games played. The two saves he made in this game were the fewest he has made so far this season. He has conceded two or more goals in five of his 10 games.
Penalty save in win
Celentano had eight saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win against Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Celentano conceded twice and made only two saves in the first half but proved decisive after his side were reduced to 10 men 11 minutes into the second, making six further saves all from inside the box including a stoppage time penalty save to help clinch the win. He has now conceded 18 goals this campaign with 14 coming in away games where he is yet to keep a clean sheet. Saturday brings Montreal next.
Records clean sheet
Celentano registered six saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Celentano turned aside each of the six New York Red Bulls' shots on goal Saturday and made one clearance to record his second clean sheet of the campaign in a 2-0 home win. Since missing to matches with a leg injury, the veteran keeper has made 17 saves and two clearances across his subsequent four starting appearances while conceding eight goals. Celentano's next challenge is likely to come Saturday when Cincinnati faces a difficult road test versus Chicago.
Allows four to NYCFC
Celentano recorded five saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-4 draw versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Celentano saw four goals go while making five saves during the draw to NYCFC on Wednesday. Since his return from injury, he's conceded eight goals in three MLS appearances, making 11 saves in that span. He will face off with RBNY for the next game on Saturday' who have scored 14 goals in the last five contests.
