Carolina Core FC returns for back-to-back home matches at Truist Point Stadium. Coming off a hard-fought penatly shootout win over Crown Legacy FC, the Foxes take on conference rival Atlanta United 2 with new momentum. Get ready for kickoff with the key stats from last week’s clash.
In just his third appearance for the Foxes, Arnaud Tattevin delivered a standout performance, finding the back of the net twice. His first came in the 45th minute to bring the match level, and he followed it up early in the second half with a go-ahead goal in the 51st, giving the Foxes the lead.
Nick Holliday came up big when it mattered most, making a series of key saves to push the match into a penalty shootout. In the decisive moment, the goalkeeper delivered again, denying his former Charlotte FC teammate Nimfasha Berchimas from the spot.
The Foxes showed real grit from start to finish, battling on both ends of the pitch. They held strong against Crown Legacy’s counterattacks while continuing to push forward in the second half. That persistence paid off, as the match went to penalty kicks, where they came out on top 4-2. It was a hard-earned result and a moment the home crowd fully got behind.
With a rematch against Atlanta on the horizon, the Foxes will look to build on their momentum and keep stacking points, with redemption firmly on their minds.

From its inception, CCFC’s vision has been clear: build a true professional pathway in the Carolina Core. What began with the launch of a men’s MLS Next Pro team has evolved into a vertically integrated development model, from recreation to classic, to MLS NEXT Academy Division, to MLS NEXT Homegrown Division, and ultimately to the professional ranks. CCFC Academy launched with the MLS NEXT league for the 2024 season starting with two teams - U13 and U14. Entering year three, CCFC will include U13, U14, U15, U17, and U19 age groups in the MLS NEXT Homegrown Division. MLS NEXT Homegrown represents the highest level of boys youth soccer in the United States. We are proud to be the first non-MLS team to make our MLS Next Academy free for each player, aiming to break down the financial barriers typically associated with high-level youth soccer and provide young players with an unprecedented opportunity to pursue their dreams. In just two seasons, CCFC’s Homegrown teams have earned national rankings, postseason appearances, and individual player invitations to U.S. Youth National Team identification events - proof that elite-level development can thrive in the Core.
The expanded MLS NEXT Homegrown Division will operate alongside CCFC’s existing MLS NEXT Academy Division and Classic programming at each of the age groups, ensuring competitive pathways for players across multiple aspiration and development levels within one unified club structure. Importantly, the CCFC Academy remains committed to ensuring access to top-tier competition. The club will continue to offer substantial support through merit-based and financial-need scholarships, reinforcing its belief that talent and work ethic - not financial circumstance - should determine opportunity.
