It’s a near certainty that impressing the new coach (who, let’s face it, was already old news by game time) was on the minds of the Atlanta United players as they entered a game that no one expected them to win, and, even if they did, would be utterly unlikely to overcome a 3-goal first leg deficit. 2021 isn’t here yet, but it’s coming awful fast, a whole new round of (utterly undeserved) CONCACAF Champions League play is less than two months away already.
