Charlotte FC Aims for Ninth Straight Win Against Inter Miami

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Charlotte FC faces off against Inter Miami at Chase Stadium on Saturday night in a crucial matchup for both teams.

The game starts at 7:30 p.m. ET and is part of a busy schedule as Major League Soccer returns from the international break. Charlotte, riding an impressive eight-match winning streak, seeks to tie the all-time MLS record for consecutive wins, while Inter Miami looks to improve its playoff position.

Charlotte FC comes into the match on the heels of a 2-1 victory over New England Revolution on August 30. The team’s success has been driven by rising star Idan Toklomati, who has scored eight goals this season. His partnership with Wilfried Zaha, who has seven goals and nine assists, will be pivotal in maintaining their momentum.
