MLS Recap: New England Revolution falls to Charlotte FC, 4-0

New England returns home to host Nashville SC at Gillette Stadium next weekend

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The New England Revolution (8-17-4; 28 pts.) fell on the road at Charlotte FC (11-11-8; 41 pts.), 4-0, on Saturday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium. Nigerian Midfielder Alhassan Yusuf suited up for his first MLS start and third consecutive appearance.

New England and Charlotte FC traded scoring chances in the first half, before the home side broke through for the opening goal in the 39th minute. Forward Liel Abada pounced on a loose ball in the area to end the stalemate. In the second half, Charlotte defender Nathan Byrne doubled the lead with a 51st-minute tally.

Down by two, the Revolution brought fresh legs into the attack by deploying wingers Dylan Borrero and Luca Langoni off the bench in the 56th minute. For Langoni, it was the Argentine’s sixth consecutive appearance since joining the club. However, Borrero was ejected after being shown two yellow cards in the 70th minute. Charlotte FC made the most of the man advantage, netting two more goals over the final minutes to seal its 4-0 victory.

Midfielder Esmir Bajraktarević featured in the starting lineup for the second straight game, contributing three shot attempts, one on target, and three chances created. Forward Giacomo Vrioni matched his career single-game high with six shot attempts, two on frame.

Defender Brandon Bye collected his first minutes since sustaining an ankle injury last month. Bye tallied one shot and one chance created over a 66-minute start. Also in New England’s defense, Peyton Miller continues to earn valuable minutes in his first MLS season. The 16-year-old went the distance in his fifth MLS start.
