Evander, Denkey Score for FC Cincinnati in 2-2 Draw at Charlotte FC
Charlotte answered a two-goal deficit with quick second-half goals and held FC Cincinnati to no shots on target after halftime.
- On Saturday, Charlotte rallied from a 2-0 halftime deficit to secure a 2-2 draw against Cincinnati at Bank of America Stadium. The result marked a rare instance of Cincinnati squandering a lead.
