Charleston Battery Rout Brooklyn FC 5-0 After Tough July

Goals from across the squad

The five goals came from five different players, the report says: Wilmer Cabrera, Maalique Foster, Laurent Kissiedou, Miguel Berry and Emilio Ycaza. That spread gave the win more than one headline act. Cabrera opened the scoring, Foster added a goal before the break, and the Battery pulled away with three more after half-time.

Brooklyn had chances to respond early, but the report says Charleston held firm before taking control. The performance ended a four-match run without a win and extended the Battery’s regular-season home unbeaten streak to 23 games, according to the report.

A home standard to carry on the road

The result offers a sharp lift after a difficult month, but the next challenge is to reproduce that energy away from home. A long unbeaten run at Patriots Point is a powerful platform; it is not a substitute for points on the road.

The report says the Battery’s next two fixtures are away, against Loudoun United FC and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, before a return home against Miami FC. Those matches will show whether the Brooklyn performance was a one-night reset or the start of a stronger run.
