Charlotte FC's five-match unbeaten streak was snapped Thursday night, falling 4-1 to FC Juarez. Despite the loss, Israeli striker Idan Toklomati continued as one of the most in-form forwards in the league scoring his sixth goal in the last eight matches across all competitions. Toklomati, however, picked up a red card in the 80th minute and was sent off for the rest of the match and will be missed for at least the Chivas match.

Nathan Byrne returned to the pitch for the first time in three-and-a-half months, as he logged 62 minutes for The Crown. Byrne has been a crucial part to both the backline and the team as the Club was 5-2-1 prior to his injury and 7-9-1 while he was out and recovering. The Leagues Cup will continue to help him and the rest of the backline get back to their early- season form.

Even though the defensive side of the ball has been a struggle, Charlotte FC continues to show it can score. Thursday night, The Crown tallied its 18th- straight match with at least one goal, showing that it continues to be in matches. During that 18-match stretch, Charlotte FC has recorded 12 multi- goal performances.bidden.
