CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) --- Nicols Fernndez scored a goal in the eighth minute,
Matt Freese had his fourth shutout this season, and New York City FC beat
Charlotte FC 1-0 on Wednesday night.
NYCFC (5-5-3), which beat Columbus 3-0 on Saturday to snap a seven-game winless
streak, has won back-to-back games for the second time this season.
Fernndez cut back to evade a defender near corner of the 6-yard box and then
skipped a shot that deflected off the hand of goalkeeper Kristjian Kahlina and
rolled into the net to open the scoring.
Fernndez has seven goal contributions (four goals, assists) in the past six
games.
Charlotte (4-6-3) played to a 2-2 tie with Cincinnati on Saturday to snap a
three-game losing streak and is winless since it beat NYCFC 2-1 on April 18.
