    Patrick Agyemang delivered a stunning first-half performance against Columbus Crew, scoring twice to give Charlotte FC a 2-1 lead heading into halftime. After the Crew took an early lead via Ibrahim Aiyu’s 15th-minute strike, Agyemang responded with a quickfire double that electrified the Bank of America Stadium crowd.

    His first goal came via a well placed header from a corner four minutes after Aiyu’s opener, before he gave Charlotte the lead after tucking home a second from a lovely Wilfried Zaha through ball, five minutes after that. Charlotte went on to score a 3-2 win.
