- Charlotte beat Atlanta United 2-0 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 29, with Idan Toklomati opening the scoring and Liel Abada adding a second-half goal.
- Allan Saint-Maximin recorded two assists, his first MLS assists, by creating the build-up for both goals and driving Charlotte counterattacks.
- Goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina kept a clean sheet and made key saves to preserve the shutout.
- The result ended Atlanta's three-game winning streak and extended Charlotte's unbeaten run to four games while moving Charlotte higher in the Eastern Conference standings.
