Atlanta United 2 lost 5-0 to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC Saturday night at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.
Pittsburgh opened the scoring in the 4th minute from a corner kick that was headed out of the box by Kevin Barajas. The clearance fell right to Robbie Mertz at the top of the box where the midfielder struck a low shot that took an unfavorable deflection and bounced over a diving Dylan Castanheira, who was positioned well for the low shot.
Riverhounds SC doubled its lead in the 7th minute after Steevan Dos Santos scored off a rebound from a Neco Brett shot which was initially saved by Castanheira.
