The Daily Dirt, February 25: Finale

Tonight, Atlanta United will complete its first preseason with their final match in the Carolina Challenge Cup against the host Charleston Battery. How would you grade the preseason campaign?

The first game in Chattanooga will be remembered for the spectacle as opposed to the competition. A huge number of United fans made the trek to Finley Stadium to see their club's debut. Andrew Carleton's first goal, and subsequent celebration with the fans, will be the lasting memory.

The Carolina Challenge Cup has seen its ups and downs for the Five Stripes. The first match against Columbus saw a team struggling with fitness and the quality in attack of the Crew.
