Wilfried Zaha Shines in Charlotte FC Debut with Goal and Assist in 2-0 Win Over Atlanta United

The former Premier League star made an immediate impact in front of a packed home crowd, helping Charlotte secure its first victory of the season.

Wilfried Zaha, on loan from Galatasaray, scored and assisted in his debut for Charlotte FC, leading the team to a 2-0 home victory over Atlanta United.
Zaha set up Pep Biel's opening goal with a precise pass in the 49th minute, followed by scoring a rebound goal just five minutes later.
Charlotte FC's goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina recorded a shutout with four saves, while Atlanta managed only four shots on target despite 16 attempts.
Zaha's debut performance was praised by manager Dean Smith, who highlighted his offensive and defensive contributions as key to the team's success.
Charlotte now holds a 1-1-0 record and will face Inter Miami CF on March 9, while Atlanta United returns home to host the New York Red Bulls.
