LOS ANGELES, C.A. — After a tight loss to Chicago Fire last week, Charlotte FC could not bounce back as they lost to Los Angeles FC 5-0 in California Saturday night.

It was the first meeting ever for the two teams.

Charlotte (9-2-14) had hopes of winning their second win on the road this year, but Los Angeles (17-4-3) had other plans.

LAFC scored all five of its goals in the second half after both teams went scoreless in the first half.

Charlotte will cross the country to face New York City FC from New York this Wednesday.
