Charlotte FC secured a 3-0 victory over Inter Miami CF last night, tying the MLS record for the longest winning streak with nine consecutive wins. Idan Toklomati scored a hat trick, according to Queen City News.

The match featured Lionel Messi, whose penalty miss — his first since 2022 — was saved by Charlotte goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina, as reported by Charlotte Football Club. Toklomati scored the first goal minutes after the missed penalty, added a second with assistance from Brandt Bronico, and completed his hat trick by converting a penalty later in the second half.

Charlotte maintained a clean sheet, with Kahlina and the defensive line preventing any goals from Inter Miami. WCNC noted that Kahlina’s penalty save was a key moment in the match. Charlotte FC will next play against New York City FC on Saturday.
