Charlotte FC News Release
CHARLOTTE, NC - Charlotte FC midfielder Brandt Bronico earned a spot on the MLS Team of the Matchday following his leadership in the midfield and two assists on the night. Bronico's performance helped earn the Club a dominant 3-0 win over D.C. United and the MLS 2024 Golden Boot winner, Christian Benteke. The performance also earned Charlotte FC their twelfth clean sheet this season.
The 29-year-old exemplified his speed and ability to read the game in the 57th minute, receiving a ball wide and flying past D.C. United to place a pristine cross in the center of the box where forward Pep Biel placed it into the net.
Bronico's second assist came in a similar fashion. Having received the ball out wide, Bronico outpaced all three D.C. United defenders whipped a cross into the box, and forward Patrick Agyemang was able to one-touch it effortlessly into the net.
