Charlotte FC delivered a dominant performance on home ground, defeating Montreal 4-0 on October 28 in a match highlighted by an early goal from Idan Toklomati and a spectacular second-half hat trick from Liel Abada. After a controlled first half, Charlotte turned up the pressure after the break, scoring three times in the final stages to secure a convincing victory in front of the home crowd.
Toklomati Opens the Scoring Early
Charlotte FC wasted little time getting on the scoreboard. In the seventh minute, Idan Toklomati found the back of the net with a well-placed header, giving Charlotte an early 1-0 advantage. The goal set the tone for a strong first-half performance, as Charlotte looked comfortable controlling the match.
Despite the early breakthrough, Montreal managed to keep the scoreline close through the remainder of the opening half. Charlotte continued to look for opportunities, but neither side added another goal before the halftime whistle. The teams headed into the break with Charlotte holding a narrow 1-0 lead.
The second half saw Charlotte continue to push forward, with Maxi putting together an impressive performance on the wing. He created dangerous attacking opportunities and tested Montreal’s defense with shots on target, but despite his efforts, he couldn’t find the goal he was looking for.
Maxi’s movement and attacking presence helped Charlotte maintain pressure on Montreal and created opportunities for the home side to build on its first-half advantage.
Abada Changes the Game
The match took a decisive turn in the 64th minute when Liel Abada entered the game. Just three minutes later, he made an immediate impact.
In the 67th minute, Abada collected his opportunity and fired a right-footed shot across the goal and into the net, doubling Charlotte’s lead to 2-0. His clinical finish gave the home crowd another reason to celebrate and put Montreal under even greater pressure. In the 79th minute, Toklomati turned provider, assisting Abada for his second goal of the night. The combination between the two attackers proved devastating, as Abada finished the opportunity to extend Charlotte’s advantage to 3-0
With just seven minutes remaining in regular time, Abada saved his best moment for last. In the 83rd minute, a mistake in midfield by Montreal gave Charlotte the opening it needed. Charlotte quickly launched a counterattack, taking advantage of Montreal’s defensive disorganization. Abada capitalized on the opportunity, scoring his third goal of the night to complete a stunning hat trick.
The goal sealed the 4-0 result and capped off an exceptional appearance from the substitute. Coming off the bench in the 64th minute, Abada needed only 19 minutes to score three times and put the game beyond doubt. Charlotte FC ended the match with 11 shots, six of which were on target. The numbers reflected an effective attacking performance, with the team converting its opportunities and maintaining pressure throughout the contest.
Charlotte FC will look to carry its momentum into its next home match against Orlando City on October 31. The upcoming fixture is expected to draw attention, with superstar Antoine Griezmann set to feature for Orlando City.
