Charleston Battery recorded a convincing 5‑0 victory over Brooklyn FC on August 1 at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, a result that not only added another win to the team’s remarkable home unbeaten streak but also showcased a balanced attack that left the visitors scrambling.
A Lightning Start
The match got off to a historic start when Wilmer Cabrera struck in the opening 21 seconds, a goal that tied for the 18th‑fastest strike in league history and set the tone for the rest of the contest.
Five different players found the back of the net, with Maalique Foster, Laurent Kissiedou, Miguel Berry and Emilio Ycaza joining Cabrera on the scoresheet, while goalkeeper Luis Zamudio preserved the clean sheet with several key saves that underscored his fourth shutout of the season.
Coach Ben Pirmann, speaking after the game, praised the squad’s execution and highlighted the importance of maintaining momentum as the team heads into a busy August schedule.
Charleston’s next fixtures arrive quickly, with a showdown against Loudoun United FC on August 8 followed by a road test at Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC on August 15, giving the Battery a chance to extend their record‑setting run.
