Expert Analysis
Guilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
FC Cincinnati’s striker was one of the most impressive players on the field, contributing two goals in the team’s victory. Cardenas displayed a very complete game, getting involved in the team’s offense in different ways and creating all sorts of problems for the Dynamo backline. He used his body extremely well to work with his back to the goal and get on the end of long passes, but also displayed excellent mobility and intelligence to make diagonal runs off the ball and attack the space. Cardenas’ two goals showcased his versatility and efficiency as if in the first he used his pace and movement to progress the ball for several yards in a transition play before finishing, in the second he benefited from his excellent positioning inside the penalty box to pick up a rebound and send the ball into the back of the net.

Read EvaluationJR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Cardenas is a forward on the FC Cincinnati U15 MLS Next team. He previously played for Olympiacos Soccer Club in New York. He’s been on fire at the start of 2024 with regular contributions in goals or assists. He’s got a lot of the qualities that scouts look for from a forward. He’s strong on the ball, he keeps good control of it under pressure, and he is a lethal finisher around the box. He has a good frame that works well when his side uses him as a target to break pressure. His two-goal performance against Midwest United in late February was a good showcase of his quality. He’s been part of the US Soccer Talent ID events in the past and should continue to be on the radar for YNT call-ups.
