Cleary Shines as Charlotte Claims Win | MLS News

Charlotte FC stunned D.C. United 3-1, with rookie Will Cleary scoring his first-ever MLS goal in a dramatic 66th-minute header off a Pep Biel corner — sealing the win after David Schnegg tied it early in the second half. The victory boosts Charlotte’s record to 9-7-5 and continues D.C.’s skid, now winless in four games. Despite holding over 60% possession in the first half, Charlotte’s defense held strong behind Kristijan Kahlina’s three saves, while D.C. United’s Sean Johnson managed two. Cleary’s breakthrough and Charlotte’s growing momentum make this a turning point for the young squad. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
