Impact Vargas doubled Charlotte's lead just five minutes after the opener from an assist by Wilfried Zaha.

While he isn't a regular starter this season with only 10 starts and 1,023 minutes in 25 games, Vargas remains a dangerous threat and could break his career high in goals this season as he is only two goals away from his highest mark from last season.
