Kenji Mboma Dem scored twice as FC Cincinnati routed visiting O&M FC 9-0 on Wednesday, completing a 13-0 aggregate victory in a first-round CONCACAF Champions Cup series.

Cincinnati posted a 4-0 win at Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic on Feb. 18. The dominant series performance sends the Orange and Blue into a Round of 16 matchup against Mexico's Tigres UANL.

Mboma Dem opened the scoring in the 18th minute on Tuesday. An entry pass from Obinna Nwobodo send Mboma Dem in alone in front of O&M goalie Iraitz Gelbentzu. Mboma Dem fired in a right-footed shot from 8 yards out.

The score on the night was 4-0 by halftime, as tallies from Gerardo Valenzuela (27th minute) and Tom Barlow (35th) sandwiched an own goal from O&M's Gabriel Castillo.

Ademar Chavez (48th minute), Mboma Dem (58th minute), Stiven Jimenez (68th minute), Alvas Powell (78th minutes) and Stefan Chirila (86th minute) rounded out the scorer.

Making a rough night worse for the visitors, second-half substitute Hector Ramirez received a straight red card for a tackle in the 82nd minute.
