CARY, N.C. (Interstat) — Oalex Anderson scored in the sixth minute to lift North Carolina FC to a 1-0 victory over Loudoun United in a USL Championship match Saturday at First Horizon Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park. The early goal, assisted by midfielder Ahmad Al Qaq, held as the game-winner. The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat, which gave North Carolina FC an 83.9% chance to win but had simulated a 2-1 final score. The win gives North Carolina FC a perfect start to its league campaign, while Loudoun United begins the season with a loss.
