That's how you do a home opener. Charlotte FC beat Atlanta United 2-0 in Bank of America Stadium and Wilfried Zaha scored his first goal for The Crown. Matt Swift and David Gusler break down the match and talk about the differences they saw this week compared to the lackluster performance in Seattle.

It wasn't pretty, but Charlotte FC earned a point against the Sounders on a rainy night in Seattle. Matt Swift and Corey Inscoe are joined by special guest Russell Varner to discuss the bright spots from the match – like Malanda rising like a salmon for a corner kick goal – and also any worries we have about the team after the performance.

We also see where Own Goal ranks on the list of all-time goal scorers for the crown and answer your listener questions.
