Charlotte FC Defeats FC Cincinnati 2-0 at Home

Charlotte FC secured a decisive 2-0 victory over FC Cincinnati, with Liel Abada scoring the first goal shortly after halftime and Patrick Agyemang adding a second just three minutes later. The match, held on St. Patrick's Day amidst a festive atmosphere in Charlotte, saw Cincinnati struggle to respond, even facing disciplinary issues with defender Gilberto Flores receiving a red card. This win marks Charlotte's continued dominance at home against Cincinnati, who have yet to secure an away victory against them in MLS play. FC Cincinnati, coming off a challenging schedule that included elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup, faced fatigue as they sought to improve their performance. The team's coach emphasized the necessity of resilience as they prepare for upcoming matches. Charlotte FC will next host the San Jose Earthquakes, building on their recent momentum.
