CHARLOTTE FC DEFEATS CHELSEA 5-3 IN PENALTIES GAME RECAP:

Charlotte FC has defeated Chelsea FC 5-3 in penalties Wednesday night.

Bank of America Stadium hosted a battle between two blue teams: Charlotte FC and Chelsea FC. A lightning delay prevented the teams from taking the pitch at the intended 7:30 p.m., instead starting at 8:35 p.m.

The friendly club match featured one of Major League Soccer's newest teams taking on an English stalwart. While neither Charlotte nor Chelsea racked up league points in this friendly match, the pitch served as a proving ground.

Chelsea took the lead in the First Half with a strike from Christian Pulisic, a U.S. Men's National Soccer Team player. In the 30th minute, a shot from Michy Batshuayi deflected off a Charlotte FC defender into Pulisic's feet. He quickly took the ball and squared it away into the net to give his team the advantage.

Charlotte FC was held scoreless until stoppage time in the Second Half when a handball inside the box lead to the hometown team being awarded a penalty kick.

Daniel Rios took the penalty kick and made good on his effort by notching in the kick to tie the game.

While most games end after 90 minutes and a brief stoppage period, this friendly game was extended to finish under penalty kicks to decide a winner.

Charlotte FC made all five of their penalty kicks, while a miss from Chelsea's Conor Gallagher sealed their fate and gave Charlotte the win. #WakeUpCLT #CLTFC #CharlotteFC
