The game was initially suspended for almost two hours at the 85-minute mark, but Chelsea managed to regain their momentum and secure the win in Charlotte. Maresca praised his team's performance, stating that they had one of their best displays in the past month.

He noted that the team played exceptionally well for the first 85 minutes, not conceding any goals and creating enough opportunities to win the game. However, the two-hour break caused a disruption in their rhythm, making it challenging for them to maintain their tempo.

Maresca highlighted that the team's mentality changed after the break, as they went from being inside and winning to being outside and chasing the score. This shift in mindset led to them conceding crucial chances, ultimately resulting in the scoreline.
