Charlotte (12-11-9) has beaten Chicago (7-17-9)
in five straight matches.
It marked the first time since 2015 that a Charlotte-based major
professional sports team advanced to the postseason in
consecutive years, joining the NFL's Carolina Panthers.
Swiderski opened the scoring in the eighth minute after a
give-and-go with Pep Biel. Swiderski scored again in first-half
stoppage time by heading in a cross by Nathan Byrne for a 3-1
lead.
Júnior Urso scored his first goal for Charlotte in the 30th
minute for a 2-1 lead. Liel Abada made it 4-1 in the 58th off an
assist by Swiderski.
Chicago, which played its final road game of the season, scored
in the 25th and 67th minutes before a stoppage-time goal by Tom
Barlow.
Fabian Herbers scored for the first time since March 9.
