Charlotte FC is on a roll after thumping San Diego FC on Saturday. Three goals, three points, and a clean sheet have Charlotte moving up the rankings. The league is talking. The league is taking notice. The Fortress is fortified.
Take a look at what the pundits across the league have to say about Charlotte FC's run of form:
ESPN: #4
Previous ranking: 8
“After beating a 10-man San Diego 3-0 at Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte is still the only team in MLS with a perfect home record in 2025 (5-0-0). Having a man advantage for more than half the match certainly helped, but Charlotte outshot a strong San Diego side 11-2 on target, and if not for CJ dos Santos' seven saves, this scoreline would have been even worse for the visitors.”
GOAL.com: #4
Previous ranking: 7
“What a performance from the entire group. Just a fantastic team showing with Wilfried Zaha returning from injury to make the XI as well. Patrick Agyemang sank home from the penalty spot, while Pep Biel continues to be an early frontrunner for MLS MVP with three goals and six assists on the season now. Dominant in every sense, that's now five mins in their last six and two-straight clean sheets."
Previous ranking: 6
“Charlotte were already in control of the match, but a 39th-minute red card for San Diego turned what looked like a probable win into a whomping. The Crown clobbered MLS’ newest team in a 3-0 win and ended the weekend leading the East. They’re trending toward where we thought their ceiling might be before the year began.”
Previous ranking: 10
“It’s three wins in a row for Charlotte FC, but their latest 3–0 victory over thriving expansion side San Diego FC is the standout of them all.
Liel Abada, Pep Biel and Wilfried Zaha looked comfortable as a midfield trio and got Charlotte back to the counter-attacking best, with Biel picking up another assist to make it seven on the season, leading MLS in the category.
Andrés Reyes’ 39th-minute red card certainly opened things up for The Crown, but they were dominating before then as well. It all led to a near-perfect performance that saw them put up 3.86 xG, create seven big chances and get goals from key players in Abada, Patrick Agyemang and even Andrew Privett.
Things are going well for Charlotte FC right now, and it’s darn fun to see.”
