CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Wilfried Zaha waited for the start of the second half to officially introduce himself to his new hometown fans, setting up one goal four minutes into the half, then scoring himself five minutes later as Charlotte FC beat Atlanta United 2-0 in its home opener. Making his debut with the club and expected to be an offensive spark after scoring 68 Premier League goals in 305 appearances, Zaha helped manufacture both goals on fast-break opportunities created by the Charlotte midfield.
