The Bronx side won the first match, securing their first win in Charlotte since the Crown joined Major League Soccer. The goal was to win the second game and earn a spot in the Conference Semifinals.
In the end, it was 0-0 at the end of regulation, and NYCFC and Charlotte had to resort to a penalty kick shootout. It was the visitors who won it, winning 7-6.
