2022 Charlotte FC Game Thread

That possession stat is ridiculous. In professional soccer it’s rare to see possession greater than a split of 60-40 and that’s with a team like Chelsea playing a team like Norwich.

NYCFC having 67% possession is unacceptable.

Much better play to start the half, no idea where this group was the first half.

Bender on for McNeill

Jozwiak for Vargas

Kahlina with a magnificent save after Sobocinski gets beat on a through ball. Walkes cleans up the rebound.

Filthy Goal by Bronico!!!

Fuchs puts one right on Swiderski who flicks it to Bronico in the center of the box and Bronico buries it.

ON ICE!

Gaines draws the penalty with a nice move in the box and then Fuchs steps up and buries it.

From outhouse in the first half to the penthouse. Gotta love the ins and outs of sports.

After one of the worst half’s all season, Charlotte comes out rejuvenated in the second half and gets a massive win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

What an awesome game! Happy for Bronico to get his first goal and what a back heel pass from Swiderski to set up the goal.

We need to find a way to come out of these next two marches (Orlando and Toronto) with all six points.

I would say they learned something from the butt kicking they got on Saturday which was also 1-1 at half. It is even more impressive when you realize this is their second game in 5 days. They had the desire and drive in the second half that they didnt have on Saturday and outhussled NY to the ball. Coupled with some great goaltending it was the most impressive win this year in MLS play for Charlotte and surely their best road game yet.

Great point about the goaltending. Kahlina made two massive saves in the second to keep things level.

 Bronico and Fuches were wild men seemingly everywhere exorting their teammates to keep up the pressure.  I though the substitutions were right on  and whatever Latanzio said at halftime lit a fire under their butts.
