Charlotte, Dayton finish scoreless

It was a night of missed chances in Charlotte as the Eagles and Dayton Dutch Lions, who were opening their campaign, finished in a scoreless stalemate. The closest either came to scoring on the night came nine minutes in when Charlotte’s Jorge Herrera free kick took a deflection and ricocheted off the far post.  A couple of opportunities went for naught courtesy of Eric Reed saves.

The Eagles are now 0-1-1 following last week's season opening loss, 2-0, to Orlando City. Charlotte hosts Charleston Tuesday and Harrisburg Friday in upcoming action as Dayton travels to Pittsburgh Saturday.
