Charlotte FC Rally to Beat D.C. United 3-1 at Home

Overview

• Charlotte erased a 1-0 deficit to win 3-1 on Saturday after a scoreless first half and a dominant second-half performance.
• David Schnegg equalized in the 64th minute, Will Cleary headed a Pep Biel corner into the net a minute later to give Charlotte the lead, and Biel sealed the win with a goal in the 76th minute.
• The comeback relied heavily on set pieces and quick transition play, with Biel creating the Cleary header and later finishing a move started by Liel Abada.
• The three points lifted Charlotte one spot in the Eastern Conference and left the club one point behind the New England Revolution for higher seeding.
• The result continues improving home form after an Aug. 15 win over Columbus and answers a recent collapse in Toronto, and Charlotte will visit Atlanta on Aug. 29 to see if the run can be sustained.
