NEW YORK (AP) — Alonso Martínez scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time and New York City FC rallied to beat Charlotte FC 2-1 at Yankee Stadium on Saturday night. For the time being, Tuchel will have to make do with the players he has out with him in America and they’ll get another run out in the second of three games stateside on Thursday. Charlotte FC, the newest addition to Major League Soccer (MLS), was established in December 2019, making waves in the soccer world.

The North Carolina crowd was loving the misery inflicted upon the traveling Chelsea support, and the home side did not let up after getting the equalizer. The effort level continued to wane for the Blues as the match carried on, and many supporters within the ground had enough of such a letdown performance. Fans who experienced this level of frustration, it is warranted, but again this is preseason and Tuchel was likely using a tertiary back-up plan. It makes definitive conclusions difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. If nothing else, this gives the manager a chance to reconsider his decisions to give trial minutes, how and why the minutes did not work and how to rectify this prior to kick off against Arsenal in Orlando on July 23.
It is worth noting the penalty shootout was marred by one of the worst penalties I have observed at the professional level in my time as a fan. Gallagher took the penalty with a stuttered run up to the ball, and then hit it right down the middle with such little pace on the ball that it could only be described as a slow roller straight to the keeper. It was reminiscent of a bad, under hit pass, let alone a penalty shootout attempt. I was shocked and this missed penalty ultimately undid the Blues as Mendy did not to contest or stop any of the Charlotte penalties. Club captain Christian Fuchs will surely get a run-out, likely from the start, to give fans a look at the former Premier League player and to help the younger players stay strong against a talented opponent.
In his pre-match press conference, Thomas Tuchel would not be drawn on who would play in this match, but he did give a few hints. It was thought likely based on Tuchel's comments that fans will see new signing Raheem Sterling from the opening whistle, but he starts on the bench, still likely to get into the match at halftime. It's too early for new defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined just days ago, to make an appearance. Attendance is announced at 52,673 - a great crowd on hand for this match.
The game will not be on TV but supporters can tune in to the game on the club website and via the 5th Stand app – as will the entirety of Chelsea's US pre-season tour. As the timelines of Charlotte FC and Chelsea FC intertwine, the stage is set for an epic clash between two teams with their own unique stories. Stay tuned for more as we dive deeper into the timeline of events that have shaped the rivalry between Charlotte FC and Chelsea FC.
Chelsea FC, a London-based English Premier League club, is one of the most successful European teams in the 21st Century having won every major competition they’ve played in during that time.
