New England RevolutionvsCharlotte FC
NE 0/CLT 1
Things to say
Charlotte FC beat the New England Revolution 1-0 at Bank of America Stadium.
01
Charlotte nicked it 1-nil over New England at the Bank. Revs had the better record coming in but Charlotte wanted it more at home. Clean sheet for Kahlina.
02
key player
Pep Biel was the difference — four shots and looked like the only guy on the pitch actually trying to break the thing open.
03
hot take
New England is a fraud at 8-1-5. You don't put up that record and then get shut out by a sub-.500 side unless something's off.
04
deep cut
Matt Turner made five saves in a losing effort. Tim Ream quietly racked up 45 accurate passes at the back for Charlotte — old man's still running the show.
05
exit
Anyway, Revs need to figure it out quick before this slide gets ugly. Next one's the real test.
The recap
Charlotte FC pulled off a 1-0 upset over New England at home, knocking off one of the East's hottest sides. Matt Turner was busy in the Revolution goal with five saves, but Kahlina kept his clean sheet on the other end and that was the difference.
Pep Biel led the way with four shots and Charlotte just looked sharper when it mattered. New England's been rolling all year, so this one stings for the visitors.
