It did not take long for Gabon national team star forward Aaron Boupendza to make an impact at new club FC Cincinnati! After arriving from Saudi club Al-Shabab on July 5 for a large sum of €6.5 million, much is expected of the 26-year-old but he showed encouraging signs by scoring on his debut after coming on as a substitute. Boupendza’s goal put the finishing touches on a 3-1 victory for Cincinnati on Saturday against Nashville and the club is currently at the top of the league table.
