Send us a textIn an almost unbelievable turn of events, Charlotte FC first faces bottom of the table Montreal and hands them a 1-4 win with a host of disastrous mistakes along the backline starting with Adilson Malanda's red card, and then the Crown travels to DC where their luck returns them to favor when Kahlina makes a hairline goal save and DC earns not one but TWO red cards, though the Crown only manages to win by 1. The Queens' Pitch on X@thequeenspitchclt
DC United received two red cards in the first thirty minutes of the match, which means Charlotte FC played 11 vs. 9 for 60 minutes against the worst team in the East.
