Learning how your teammates like to move and the way they play. CHARLOTTE – This isn’t Charlotte FC striker, Daniel Ríos’s first rodeo when it comes to playing for an expansion side. Ríos was a part of Nashville SC’s expansion year and even scored their first-ever goal in MLS. He knows better than most the challenges involved in starting a team from scratch. The Mexican is the second Charlotte FC player to earn Player of the Week honors in as many weeks after fellow attacker Karol Swiderski was named POTW following a 3-2 win over Chicago Fire FC. Charlotte FC is the first expansion team to accomplish this feat since 2005 when Seattle Sounders FC did so.

There will be added intrigue as players not on the roster or dressed for that game in July will not be eligible for selection in the completion of the game. Daniel Rios scored all four goals and Charlotte FC continued a strong late-season stretch by upsetting the visiting Philadelphia Union 4-0 on Saturday. UPDATE (Feb. 24) – Charlotte FC have acquired forward Daniel Rios from Nashville SC in exchange for $350,000 in General Allocation Money plus another $150,00 GAM in incentives, sources tell MLSsoccer.com. There is no doubt that the Charlotte FC fans had an impact on the match.

Ríos believes that scoring that first goal was a huge confidence boost for the team leading into the game against the New England Revolution. The 2024 Atlanta United FC season is the eighth season of Atlanta United FC's existence, and the sixteenth year that a professional soccer club from Atlanta, Georgia competing in the top division of American soccer. Atlanta United will play their home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Somone who has started the season in fine form has been goalkeeper, Kristijan Kahlina, who has produced crucial saves in the opening games of the season. We are all trying to understand each other, but that only comes with minutes on the pitch. Of course, if we can win games and earn points during this process, that’s the most ideal thing, but it’s part of the process.

The energy they bring even before the match begins to the very last whistle is contagious, and Ríos says that the players feed off of it. Ríos ranked this match as one of the top three best games of his career and went as far as to say that it probably tops the list. However, it hasn’t been all rainbows and sunshine for the Club but the team is still believing and fighting until the very end.

CHARLOTTE, NC (Monday, October 3, 2022) – Charlotte FC striker Daniel Rios was voted MLS Player of the Week after scoring all four goals in a 4-0 thrashing of Eastern Conference leading Philadelphia Union to keep the Crown's playoff hopes alive. Per league policy, the game will recommence with the same players on the field and substitutes available as when the match was initially postponed. But it was Charlotte who struck again nine minutes into the second half. Jozwiak was a Union buster all night for the Crown, on the dribble, finding space, feeding lethal passes to the hot foot of Rios, and he did it again in the 54th minute. With roar of the Charlotte supporters on top of them in the East End, the pair harassed the Philly defense into several turnovers on the left side of the goal with Jozwiak deftly putting the ball on the striker’s foot. Rios danced to his right around defender Leon Flach and nutmegged Blake to put Charlotte up 2-0.

His goals in the 24', 54', 72', and 90'+1' set up a must-win match for Charlotte FC on Wednesday against the Columbus Crew. CLTFC sits four points off the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with two games left to play. The match originally scheduled for July 30 was suspended due to severe weather and will resume in the 16th minute with the score still 0-0. Charlotte FC scored their first ever goal in history against rival Atlanta United this past weekend.

Charlotte are entering their first full season under head coach Christian Lattanzio. They missed the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs as a first-year club, slotting ninth in the Eastern Conference table. “It was a pleasure to see Dani’s skills evolve throughout the year and make a strong impact on the field late in the season, which is a testament to the type of player development we’re building at Charlotte FC,” sporting director Zoran Krneta said in a release.

Goal: D. Ríos vs. PHI, 55'

Charlotte interim coach Christian Lattanzio said he didn’t change the game plan due to the switch but did give Sisniega the freedom to play the ball under his possession – after a save or on a goal kick – as he felt comfortable. No one in the crowd of 43,860 or watching at home would have dared suggest that Charlotte would paste Philadelphia with their worst loss – only their fifth of the season – 4-0. Or that Daniel Rios, with two goals and one assist in 24 appearances this season, would achieve the Crown’s first-ever hat trick and whatever you call a 4-goal game. The center forward joins Charlotte as the expansion side looks to reinforce their attack.

Rather than follow that pattern, most of Sisniega’s distribution was more direct, sometimes long balls that had to be won or with mid-range targeted throws and kicks that found his teammates on the flanks. If the Union had planned on victimizing Charlotte with a high press, they never really got the chance. “The game plan wasn’t changed when Kristijan was (ruled) out because we are blessed to have a good set of goalkeepers, really good,” Lattanzio said.

CHARLOTTE – Interim head coach Christian Lattanzio put his trust in Daniel Ríos once again as the Mexican striker made his fourth straight start. Ríos’s paid back his coach’s trust in him with a remarkable four-goal performance which extended Charlotte FC’s winning streak to three in a row. After three losses to start the season, the Crown had won their last two, their first two, at home before the 0-2 reality check in Pennsylvania.

The outcome prevented the Union ( , 64 points) from clinching the Eastern Conference title. Philadelphia has a home game Oct. 9 against Toronto to conclude the regular season. The MLS Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire is selected each week of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75 percent of the vote, while a Twitter fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of voting.

The Union have already secured a postseason spot, but this wasn't the type of performance it was looking for in the final road game of the regular season. It was the second game in a row in which Philadelphia failed to score, though the previous such situation resulted in a 0-0 draw with Atlanta. Rios, a 27-year-old midfielder, had a total of just two goals in 13 previous starts this season for Charlotte FC. A product of Chivas Guadalajara's youth academy, Rios made his name in USL on loan with North Carolina FC before Nashville acquired him. He was stellar at that level, with 40 goals in 62 appearances between Nashville and North Carolina. UPDATE (Feb. 25) – Charlotte FC have acquired forward Daniel Rios from Nashville SC for up to $500,000 in General Allocation Money, the clubs announced Friday.

They came into the match even on points (64) with LAFC and eager for three more in their pursuit of the Supporters Shield, which goes to the team with the most at the end of the regular season. Despite taking five corner kicks, Philadelphia didn't have many scoring chances. Additionally, Nashville SC will receive 10% of any future transfer fee outside of Major League Soccer. “I think we are doing on the field what the fans expect from us.

Charlotte FC have transferred forward Daniel Ríos to Liga MX’s Chivas for an undisclosed fee, the club announced Sunday. CHARLOTTE, NC (Sunday, December 25, 2022) – Charlotte FC today announced forward Daniel Rios has joined C.D. For most, Week 33 was about creating momentum heading into Decision Day this upcoming Sunday. LAFC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC passed that test with flying colors, allowing for leading roles on the latest Team of the Week presented by Audi.

Daniel Armando Ríos Calderón[a] (born 22 February 1995) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward for MLS side Atlanta United, on loan from Liga MX club Guadalajara. Kai Wagner of the Union was charged with a hand ball in the box that led to Rios' penalty kick. Charlotte FC ( , 41 points) have won three games in a row, avenging a shutout loss to Philadelphia in April.

With their win over Philadelphia, Charlotte become the third expansion team since 2005 to win double-digit games at home in their first season (Atlanta United in 2017 and CF Montréal in 2012). The Crown are just the third expansion team, excluding the shootout era, to win at least 13 games in their inaugural season (Atlanta United and LAFC). Additionally, Charlotte’s 41 points are the most by an expansion team since LAFC’s 57 in 2018. CHARLOTTE, NC (Friday, February 25, 2022) – Charlotte FC today announced the Club has acquired forward Daniel Ríos from Nashville SC in exchange for $350,000 in 2022 GAM with an additional $150,000 in 2023 GAM if certain incentives are met. “He’s a guy that I’ve been really impressed with, the last three matches he has played fantastic...
