Charlotte FC defeated Pumas UNAM 3–0 in a dominant Leagues Cup Group Stage performance, with the hosts controlling proceedings through a structured 4-3-3 setup. Playing with 53 per cent possession, Charlotte created clear-cut opportunities, registering 15 shots with seven on target; Archie Goodwin opened the scoring as part of a clinical attacking display. The home side's goalkeeper proved impenetrable, saving all six shots faced for a perfect 100 per cent save rate, while Pumas struggled to break down the defence despite 13 attempts and six efforts on target. Pumas' goalkeeper faced seven shots on target but could only convert a 57.14 per cent save percentage, illustrating the gulf in finishing quality between the teams. The three-goal margin reflected Charlotte's superiority across the ninety minutes in a one-sided contest that saw the Mexican side unable to generate sustained attacking threat. Charlotte's victory strengthens their group stage credentials considerably.
