United holds the Eastern Conference’s final postseason spot, but Charlotte FC isn’t far behind. Saturday night’s scoreless draw gave the visitors a boost.
A minute had not yet passed when Christian Benteke dummied José Fajardo’s cross, leaving the ball for Mateusz Klich, whose 17-yarder missed the short side. Fajardo squandered a free run after collecting Benteke’s flick, and Klich didn’t do anything with a clear, 16-yard bid.
United began the second half almost as well as the first. In the 56th minute, Éric Davis’s cross found Benteke for a seven-yard header that smacked the crossbar. Ten minutes later, Charlotte goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina used his face to block Benteke’s close-range bid.Rooney turned to his bench for the first time in the 74th minute, bringing on Ted Ku-DiPietro and Nigel Robertha. Both teams menaced the box but did not test the keepers.
Miller is out for the season with an injury that is expected to require surgery, so Bono started his third consecutive match.
