The full-time clip: Charlotte FC secures the playoff spot after a wild game

Charlotte FC vs Chicago Fire never seems to disappoint. Why should the night Charlotte looks to secure a spot in the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs be any different? Seven goals, some outstanding performances and a bit of controversy to boot. But in the end, The Crown will go to the postseason, which as of today guarantees at least 8th place in the Eastern Conference.

The first three of the CLTFC attack were deployed. Three goals and three assists from Karol Swiderski, Pep Biel and Liel Abada. Charlotte FC fans have been waiting to see what their designated players can unlock on the field together, and you saw it tonight. At the start of the game you could tell that Pep Biel was going to have a night. He moved around the pitch with pride, connecting passes, creating chances and not being afraid to shoot on goal. It didn't take long for the first results to appear on the scoresheet. In the 8th minute, Charlotte FC scored what was probably the best team goal in its young history. Strong midfield play meant that the ball was at Biel's feet and had space to develop. He connected with Karol Swiderski in a beautiful back-and-forth just outside the box, which ultimately led to Karol finishing the move and putting Charlotte in the lead.
