Charleston Battery thrashed Brooklyn FC 5-0 in the USL Championship, with Andy Cabrera scoring after just one minute. The early goal set the tone, and the hosts were never challenged as they piled on four more.
Maalique Foster made it 2-0 in the 43rd minute, and Laurent Kissiedou added a third on 54 before Miguel Berry netted a fourth three minutes later. A fifth goal arrived in the 90th minute, and two red cards in the 79th minute – for Kissiedou and Tommy McNamara – disrupted the closing stages.
The box score told a strange story: Charleston had only one shot on target but scored five, while Brooklyn managed three shots on target and still came away empty-handed. Charleston dominated possession with 74%, and their keeper made two saves to preserve the clean sheet.
