Charlotte FC secured a spot in the 2026 MLS Cup playoffs after defeating CF Montreal 4-0 on Wednesday night, WBTV reported.

Liel Abada scored a career-high three goals within a 15-minute span after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute. This was Abada's first career hat trick and the third in Charlotte FC's club history.

Idan Toklomati opened the scoring early in the match with a header assisted by Allan Saint-Maximin. Toklomati also contributed an assist later in the game, while Pep Biel provided three assists for Charlotte.

The win ended Charlotte FC's three-game winless streak, improving their record to 14-10-8. Meanwhile, Montreal remains winless in four of their last five games and holds the lowest points and worst goal differential in the Eastern Conference.

Charlotte FC's strong performance, highlighted by Abada's scoring surge since the All-Star break, positions them well as they advance into the playoffs.
