It was a tough Friday night for ATL UTD 2 against North Carolina FC as NCFC struck five times in the first half - including a first half hat trick from Jonathan Ewolo - to leave town with a 5-1 victory at Coolray Field.
NCFC opened the scoring as Jonathan Ewolo put a perfect header into the net off a corner in just the third minute of play. It didn’t stay 1-0 for long, as ATL UTD 2 pounced on a turnover that fell to teenage midfielder Alessandro Castro - who made his first professional goal one to remember.
