Charlotte FC vs. Atlanta United | Fortune Banger! | Full Match Highlights | August 31, 2024

let's take a look at the starting 11 with one change for this Charlotte side we discussed over the RBC players to watch that this might be the most organized team in the Eastern Conference and it starts on the back line and Brooks l in higher but similar conversation in the Midfield with Fortune SCH and Muk and what they can do to create up top in the nine Daniel Rio's not fully fit so getting ready to square off for the sixth time all time and we are underway from the Queen City Charlotte going from left to right in the primary kits the blue sedki snaps the header down but it's an easy save for Brad guzan in the end now space for Charlotte to come back up the right hand Channel this is Pep beel sedki back to beel Westwood curling shot missing the target who dawned that college football uniform from his Alma moer UNC Charlotte coming into the match today it's ball Coral by sedki Y what a cheeky move that was and a turning shot but a save by guzan there Brooks Lennon zipping it in looking for CH what a save by Kina with the left hand we addressed it a couple of times tonight that success certainly has to come from a higher line of the outside bats you've seen it from Amador what a ball this is by Brooks Lennon Only surpassed by the explosion by the goalkeeper Kina the way that he stops midair Amador Silva this time gets the step on Burn Silva CHS it across it oh boy there was a header right at the doorstep for L jit but he puts it wide Atlanta much better though in the last two sequences and the recognition from the wide areas as to when to exactly attack this and good job by Silva he sees all the space over the miduk finds Lo janit driving forward out to Lennon lenon puts it into the penalty area brono heads it to the nearest side Amadore Clips it back in headed up into the air by brono feels for a hand ball on uranin ball stays alive lenon puts it across Lo jit a save once again by Kina who's come up big twice here in the first half for it's going to be difficult for them to give it definitely creates contact on the hand but if you watch it it comes down towards the body it feels natural to me especially into the penalty area cutting it back and an chuk Fortune Silva Sav by Kina by Charlotte who are a little slow to react in this situation and watch Silva on the far side he's calling for the ball but no matter what he's always going to want to attack this there's no doubt Atlanta have had the better of the chances so far in this game Corner number three scoots all the way through the penalty area Silva chips it up into the air and here's a diving save once again by Kina the chance that just was by Atlanta United and i' tell goalkeeper Kina he's cheating a little bit good recovery though to then reset himself to allow sedki couldn't keep possession and now a ball over the top from Fortune looking for L jit Lo janit in the penalty area from a tough angle it's to side netting Fortune firing a shot and finding the bottom corner an absolutely beautiful finish by the Young Atlanta midfielder and finally they've broken through game but he went aggressive here because BTO he can step high but so can Jay fortune and that's what we saw last match out now that wasn't the first choice selection but he did well to push the tempo up he's got to be a little bit deeper tonight but Fortune truly favors the Bold in this situation the way that he attacks this and steps up through when I asked Dean Smith about the Midfield and why he went with brono other Johnny it was about to have the legs and United to they're us C championship team such a graceful control that's come about his game and understanding of when to go in stay here's aiman right at guzan and he's able to pounce on the rebound as wellity well in terms of stock and investment this man's not that far behind in conversation aiman who's certainly known for his speed but they continue to be more aggressive commit more numbers real estate's going to open up and that's more space for the nine to step into just like that aimont forward to BL BL right at guzan once again Atlanta wanted the offside flag to come up it did not here is abata he'll drive this one back in and the header is pushed wide jiman and they've recirculated some of these chances just poor marking on the backline by Atlanta United where you see the quick steps seon Gregor and Amador come up high and forces Derrick Williams in a 3v1 situation great job by the way Max mccardy Williams good ball over to Lenin once again he'll drive this one in Alanda heads it on only as far as lo janit lo janit and it trickles just wide of the post it will be a corner took a deflection on the way in he certainly had a few over the past couple of matches love janit escaped him not the greatest night for Nathan burn in his one-onone se's struggled Down on the Corner both against burn frustrations being heard around Bank of America Stadium Westwood chipping it in once again Tim re dueling with Rios who comes away with it and mccardy flicks it forward to Lo janit and there's all kinds of space for Atlanta to come forward Tyler Wolf Tyler wolf oh what a save colen has come up big once again for 96th minute now everybody's got to get forward rain pumps it down the park aimant flicks It Forward Williams clears it away and there is the final whistle a massive win in the Eastern
