The Charlotte FC experienced a difficult defeat against the Colorado Rapids, with the match concluding with a 2-0 scoreline. The Rapids, described as a "fickle" side capable of unsettling their opponents, appeared dominant throughout the game. Charlotte FC's performance was marked by struggles and questionable calls, resulting in a night that the team would rather forget.
The match included notable events such as international call-ups returning to the XI and a yellow card issuance to Awaziem. During the first half, Charlotte had opportunities but failed to capitalize, with the front four out of sync possibly due to the international break. Despite defense efforts from the 60th to 70th minute, Colorado found their breakthrough with Djorde Mihailovic scoring in the 78th minute and later converting a penalty awarded after Adilson Malanda's foul.
Post-match, tensions flared with coaches Dean Smith and Chris Armas engaging in a heated exchange, both having received yellow cards during the match. Charlotte FC will look to move on as they prepare to face Nashville, SC, next Saturday at home.
