How did Charlotte FC fare in its debut compared to other teams?
Charles Boehm comments: “Of the eight teams that have joined MLS since 2016, only one, LAFC, has scored points in its inaugural match. And the Carolina newcomers joined that trend at Audi Field on Saturday night, suffering just about every unfortunate bounce imaginable in a 3-0 loss to D.C. United graced by an impressive gaggle of some 400 raucous visiting fans from the Queen City”.
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández thanked Tigres striker André-Pierre Gignac for his recent praise, in which he called for the LA Galaxy player's return to the Mexican national team.
"We saw it in his first match. (Chicharito) can solve you at any minute, (it was) a tight, complicated match, he made a great play. With his left foot, he cut back and then sent a bomb under the crossbar in the 89th minute. I'm not a coach, but I love Mexico, everyone knows that I want us to reach the fifth match," said the French striker during an interview on 'La Última Palabra'.
