Charlotte FC vs FC Cincinnati

Charlotte FC let a two-goal deficit slip away against them before hauling things back level at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, 9 May 2026, with FC Cincinnati having to settle for a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw. The visitors were the sharper side early on and deservedly led 2-0 at the break, doing most of the good work through the middle of the park and making the home defence look shaky more than once. Cincinnati edged the shot count 13-12 and had five on target to Charlotte's three, numbers that reflected their control for large spells. Charlotte came out with more purpose after the interval, though, and their pressure eventually told as they clawed back both goals to snatch a point. Seven corners to Cincinnati's four hinted at the pressure Charlotte piled on late, even if the overall possession split, 53% for the visitors, told its own story. For Charlotte, it's a result that feels almost like a win given how things stood at half-time. Cincinnati, meanwhile, will wonder how they didn't hold on given the platform they built.

It finished 2-2 between Charlotte FC and FC Cincinnati at Bank of America Stadium, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides.
