Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Atlanta United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brandt Bronico made 282 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Atlanta United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 19' Tristan Muyumba doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 24' Charlotte FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 29' It looks like no one’s ball. Charlotte FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tyger Smalls suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' Sensational shot from Wilfried Zaha. Charlotte FC is back in the lead.
