  WHAT HAPPENED

  U.S. international Patrick Agyemang delivered a standout performance for Charlotte FC, scoring two goals in a five-minute span in the first half to help his team overcome an early deficit and secure a 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew. His match-winning contribution earned him the MLS Player of the Matchday award, the highest individual recognition given by the league for weekly performances. Not only that, Agyemang became just the second player in Charlotte FC history to record multiple multi-goal games, joining former striker Karol Świderski in this exclusive club.

  It has been a strong week for Agyemang, who was also recently called into Mauricio Pochettino's 2025 Gold Cup squad.

  Agyemang continues to establish himself as one of Charlotte's most valuable offensive weapons, now ranking as the club's second all-time leading scorer with 16 goals, trailing only Świderski's 28. His recent form has been particularly impressive, with six goal contributions in his last six outings across all competitions, culminating in this MLS Player of the Matchday award.

  The 24-year-old has five goals in 14 appearances this season.
