CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Liel Abada scored early on Pep Biel's league-leading sixth assist and Charlotte FC rolled to a 3-0 victory over expansion side San Diego FC on Saturday night.
Kristijan Kahlina, the reigning goalkeeper of the year, finished with two saves on the way to his fourth clean sheet this season for Charlotte (6-2-1). Charlotte is the last remaining club with a perfect home record after its fifth straight victory.
Charlotte jumped in front in the 11th minute when Abada used Biel's assist to score for the second time. It was Abada's ninth career goal in 32 appearances with Charlotte.
