The former Hoops star got his first minutes under his belt for his new club after a big move from Parkhead earlier this year
The former Celtic star made the switch to the MLS earlier this year and he was introduced from the bench for the final half an hour - but he suffered a late blow on his bow with Cincinnati grabbing a 92nd minute leveller to silence the home crowd and claim a share of the spoils thanks to Aaron Boupendza following Djibril Diani's opener for Dean Smith's men.
Just as the game passed the hour mark, Abada was subbed into the action with his new side sharing his big moment. As he got ready to run onto the field at the Bank of America stadium, the commentary team said: "And if that wasn't enough to get them out of their seats. What about the moment we are about to see right now as Djibril Diani retreats to the halfway line having scored the goal to give Charlotte the lead.
"Stand by for the introduction of Charlotte FC's record transfer Liel Abada. The Israeli international is ready to make his debut at Bank of America stadium. Listen for the reception he is about to get.." Speaking to the media post-match, Abada added: "I am really happy to have made my debut in front of the fans. It was a really nice atmosphere and I am looking forward to the next game. I want to improve the team.
"I just arrived two days ago. I need to learn about the team, staff and players. I am sure I will get that soon."
