Mateo Silvetti, 19, also had a goal and an assist for No. 3 seed Miami, which continues its deepest MLS Cup Playoff run in club history by advancing to its first East final. It will host No. 5 seed New York City FC, which shut out top-seeded Philadelphia Union 1-0 on Sunday night.
Cincinnati was eliminated in a home match for a third consecutive postseason while falling a match short of reaching its second East final, according to Reuters.
