The Charleston Battery suffered a 3-0 defeat to expansion club Brooklyn FC on Saturday night in New York. Brooklyn scored twice in the first half and once in the second to hand Charleston their second league loss of the season. The Battery recorded more shots than Brooklyn but were unable to find the back of the net, with goalkeeper Jackson Lee making several saves for the hosts.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

This loss ends Charleston’s early season road stretch, with the team now looking to bounce back at home against the Tampa Bay Rowdies. The Battery will need to shore up their defensive transitions and find more clinical finishing if they hope to get back on track and challenge for a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

Charleston was unable to put a dent in the scoreboard, recording 13 shots but only 4 on target, all of which were saved by Brooklyn’s goalkeeper. Brooklyn scored in the 9th, 32nd, and 61st minutes to build a 3-0 lead that proved too much for the Battery to overcome. Charleston’s Miguel Berry had a pair of late chances but was also denied by the Brooklyn keeper.<\/p>\n
