Idan Toklomati's fancy footwork finished off a nice team goal and 10-man Charlotte FC held on thanks to Kahlina denying Carles Gil's Free Kick. It was the perfect way to head into the extended summer break as the World Cup takes center stage.
The win also served as Wilfried Zaha's farewell match in Charlotte, which is going to play heavy into the 2nd half of the season once MLS play resumes.
John and Danny will break it all down, say farewell to Wilf, hype up Tim Ream's selection to the USMNT, and maybe even a shoutout to new Premier League Champions Arsenal.
