Events
Match Events

- 10' Charlotte FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 15' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Atlanta United FC and Charlotte FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 18' A goal from the Iraq international Justin Meram! He fires home on 18 to make it 0-1!
- 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
- 28' Atlanta United FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Charlotte FC's 4-3-3 shape.
- 33' Ashley Westwood, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 38' Orrin McKinze Gaines II has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brooks Lennon made 300 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 48' Miguel Berry is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Charlotte FC so far.
- 51' What composure from Karol Swiderski! The Poland international strokes it home. 0-2.
- 51' Poor challenge from Andrew Gutman. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
- 55' Derrick Etienne gets the nod from Atlanta United FC. He replaces Amar Sejdic and will look to change the dynamic.
- 57' Goal! Justin Meram scores his 22 goal in 303 matches.
- 59' Jan Sobocinski catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 59.
