Andrew Carleton Dazzles in Open Cup Loss
If you follow Atlanta United, you’ve been waiting for Andrew Carleton to finally get his chance. On Wednesday night, Carleton finally got his shot in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and he looked exceptional.
The 17-year-old showed no fear against Miami FC, running at defenders and pulling out of his bag of tricks on a handful of occasions.
The confidence shown by Carleton provided the base for a strong performance and every time he picked up the ball, he looked dangerous. The youngster almost highlighted his performance with a goal, but a strong save from Daniel Vega early in the game, and a volley that went just wide, denied him of a special moment.
