Charlotte FC's 2025 season meets the end of the road as they fall to NYCFC in Game 3 of Round 1 of the MLS Playoffs, and though the match started out with high hopes, a rocking crowd, and team intensity, it came to a decisive end with the third goal well into extra time. The queens are in mourning as they cover the highs and lows of this one.
It was a disappointing start to the 2025 MLS Playoffs for Charlotte FC as they lost their first game at home due to an unfortunate mishap, allowing NYCFC to go up a goal, but the Crown redeemed themselves for the first time away in Yankee Stadium as a save from Kristijan Kahlina clinched a win in penalties, reminiscent of 2024. Can the Crown FINALLY get their first goal in the playoffs in round 3?

In a first, Charlotte FC sweeps FC Cincinnati for 2025 with 1-0 away win back in MLS play, after both teams crash out of the Leagues Cup with an eerily similar record against the same Liga MX opponents. Both teams start evenly matched, but the tide turns when Cincinnati earns a repeat performance red card, Wilf Zaha scores a banger, and Kahlina looks his old self from last year.
Charlotte FC notches another 3 points and a history-making 4 game winning streak with a 2-0 victory against Toronto. It's Kerwin's bobblehead giveaway night, so it's only fitting he is one of the heroes. It's a fight night to remember for the queens!
Charlotte FC unites two wins, one at home against DC 2-1 and away in Atlanta 3-2, and wow, does it feel great to end a 9 point week!

Of course, some of that win is thanks to all the fans, home and away, che...

In what is now same old, Charlotte loses again on the road to Sporting Kansas City (1-2) and Chicago (2-3) but at least manages two comeback goals. However, it’s just troubling at this point as it just doesn’t feel like the team as a collective wants to bring home wins or even draws.

Is the only bright spot that it seems like the star is finally rising for Wilfr...
