October 8^th, 2025

In a time when Charlotte FC were continuing their run of form, a young star presented himself as an emerging leader. His energy, precision, and flair have made him a staple in the attack for The Crown. With commanding performances and clutch goals, Idan Toklomati is not only contributing to wins but also shaping an identity for himself.

Idan's emergence for The Crown has been nothing short of phenomenal. The MLS world saw a glimpse of his brilliance in action during his first goal of the season against Nashville SC. His late-game heroics were a sign that the electric striker's future was bright.

Toklomati's timing and impact could not have come at a better time. With Patrick Agyemang's departure, minutes and production were needed from the position.

This season, here is where Idan ranks:

Second in goal contributions from MLS players under 21 years of age
Leads Charlotte FC in goals scored this year with 11 goals and 4 assists
Held a streak of seven consecutive matches with a goal contribution

six of his contributions during this streak were match winners.

AND HE HAS SHINED IN EVERY ASPECT THIS YEAR.

With many breathtaking highlights, five matches solidified Idan as the player we've been waiting for:

THE BEGINNING OF THE STREAK

When Charlotte FC went against NYCFC on July 12, the Club was in tenth place in the Eastern Conference. After coming off a disappointing June, the squad needed an energy spark, and in the 14th minute, it came from the man himself.

This win was the first of nine straight for the Club. Idan's goal would go on to be the match-winner. It was also his third goal in the last four matches.

So many were taking notice of the performance that it landed him on the MLS Team of the Matchday.

GOAL AGAINST ATLANTA UNITED

In a match that embodied what a rivalry looks like, The Crown had their backs against the wall. The Club was down 1-0 at halftime in the battle with Atlanta. Idan provided the much-needed "spark".

And if you weren't ready as soon as the second half started, you missed the tying goal that propelled Charlotte FC to a match that resulted in a 3-2 win.

ASSIST VS. FC CINCINNATI

Throughout the season, Toklomati has been a threat from the ground and in the air. His aerial attack has been on display, with 3 of his 11 goals coming from headers.

Arguably his most important header came in the form of an assist to Wilfried Zaha in the 85th minute against FC Cincinnati.

The assist led to Charlotte capitalizing and extending the win streak to 5.

A POSTERIZING FINISH VS. REAL SALT LAKE

In a tight race within the competitive Eastern Conference, The Crown needed every point they could get. Against Real Salt Lake, Idan's timing and placement soared to score the lone goal of the match and capture another victory for Charlotte.

THE HAT TRICK VS. INTER MIAMI

A chance to etch The Crown's name in history. Here's what was on the line for Charlotte FC:

One step closer to clinching playoffs
The largest lower bowl sellout in Club history
Make history by tying the MLS win streak in the post-shootout era

Three giant reasons were matched with a hat trick from the man of the match.

With this performance, Idan placed himself in the lead for number of goals on the year for CLTFC and helped the squad in one of the biggest wins of the season heading into the playoffs.
