CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Agyemang scored in the 85th minute to help Charlotte FC pull out a 3-2 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday night. Agyemang used an assist from Brecht Dejaegere to score his second goal this season and the third of his career. Agyemang has made five starts and 19 appearances over two seasons with Charlotte (3-3-2), which extended its unbeaten run at home to 13 matches dating to last season. Charlotte grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute and took it into halftime after Kerwin Vargas used an assist from Enzo Copetti to drill a right-footed shot from outside the box to the bottom left corner of the net. It was the first goal this season for Vargas and the first assist for Copetti, who had six goals and two assists as a rookie last year. Toronto (3-4-1) pulled even early in the second half when Prince Owusu scored in the 49th minute on a left-footed shot from close range. Federico Bernardeschi notched an assist. Owusu, who subbed in for Deandre Kerr is the 46th minute, made three starts and six appearances last season. He has four starts and eight appearances this season. |
