Check out the soccer action from this weekend in Charleston in 2-minute highlight reel
Yeah OK so we know today is Monday, not Friday, when our Fútbol Friday soccer newsletter usually comes out. But our contributing videographer, Kevin Young of The 5 and 2 Project, put together a heart-pounding, up-tempo highlight reel of Charlotte FC’s final preseason match from Saturday.
His two-minute video from Charleston captures some of the flavor on the field and in the stands. (Inter Miami won 2-1; Charlotte’s lone goal came on a penalty kick by Christian Makoun in extra time.)
Enjoy:
Charlotte FC opens the regular season Saturday at D.C. United. Look for a preview of that in this newsletter on Friday. Enjoy your week.
