North Carolina FC notches point in standings after 0-0 draw with Pittsburgh :: WRALSportsFan.com
Cary, N.C. — North Carolina FC played the Pittsburgh Riverhounds to a scoreless draw on a steamy Saturday night at WakeMed Soccer Park. North Carolina FC picked up a point to move to 18 points through 15 matches with a 4W-5L-6D record.
North Carolina claimed a second straight clean sheet and sixth of the 2024 USL Championship season. The home side held a 3-1 edge in shots in the first half and finished the match with a 7-6 advantage.
The first biggest chance of the night came just shy of the hour mark, with a big ball over the top putting Rafa Mentzingen in behind on the right wing. His rolling cross reached the far post to find a streaking Ezra Armstrong, but his one-timer slammed just wide. Jake McGuire made two big saves in the final five minutes to thwart Pittsburgh’s only shots on target for the night to seal the clean sheet.
North Carolina FC will hit the road to take on the Charleston Battery on Friday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Patriots Point in Charleston, South Carolina. NCFC and Charleston drew 0-0 in the season opener on March 9. The match will stream live on ESPN+.
