FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — One game after getting revenge with a shutout against Atlanta United, Charlotte FC found themselves the subject of revenge from New England Revolution.
Charlotte is now 3-4-0 in the MLS Eastern Conference after New England defended their home field 2-1. Karol Swiderski stands at tenth place ranked scoring team in the Eastern Conference with four goals. Charlotte has scored seven.
Charlotte won their last match against New England 3-1. Saturday's game marked the second showdown between the two.
Charlotte FC recently announced a multi-year contract extension for right back Jaylin Lindsey.
The new deal keeps the Charlotte native home through at least the 2024 season, with a club option to retain his services in 2025 as well.
Lindsey has started all six matches in Charlotte FC's inaugural season and has played every minute.
"Jaylin just turned 22 and will be an important part of our core group of players for many seasons to come," Sporting Director Zoran Krneta said. "He has undoubtedly earned this new contract."
Lindsey left the Queen City at the age of 14 to pursue his professional soccer dream, landing in Kansas City where he worked his way up to a role with Sporting KC.
