A heavy downpour of rain didn’t stand in the way of Charlotte FC earning a second consecutive victory at home, as The Crown defeated Philadelphia Union 2-1 in thrilling fashion.
A stellar strike from Charlotte captain Ashley Westwood in the 30th minute gave the hosts their initial lead. Pep Biel initiated the chance, delivering a precise pass inside the box. Westwood then capitalized and slotted the ball well past Philadelphia’s goalkeeper.
