Kenney Walker's 50-yard strike for FC Cincinnati named USL's April Goal of the Month

Accolades continue to arrive following Kenney Walker's wonder strike against Ottawa Fury FC on April 28.

Then, the Futbol Club Cincinnati midfielder unleashed a 50-yard volley into an open net in the club's 3-0 win. The goal went viral and finished No. 1 on the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 that night. On Monday afternoon, the United Soccer League announced it was the "Fans' Choice Goal of the Month for April," too.

The result from the win at Ottawa marked the first of three wins in eights days for FC Cincinnati, which entered that match fifth in the Eastern Conference standings. Following a 4-2 win over Atlanta United 2 this past Saturday at Nippert Stadium, Cincinnati tops the league for the first time in the club's three-year history.

And while Walker didn't score in the Atlanta win, he scored three goals in the three previous games. In 2017, the central midfielder scored two goals for FC Cincinnati. Prior to this season, Walker had three goals for the club in 61 competitive appearances.

Earlier this season, the Enquirer wrote a story showing that Cincinnati's winning percentage increases when Walker is in the starting lineup.

FC Cincinnati's next match is Saturday night at Charlotte Independence, the 11th-place team in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte's lone win this season came in its league opener on March 17. Cincinnati won 1-0 there last September.
