Atlanta United 2 defeat Philadelphia Union II 2-1

If you happened to be watching the First Team match instead of this one, you missed out on the fun. For the first time this season, Atlanta United 2 played against a team who was on average younger and smaller that they were.

The 2’s traveled to Chester, Pennsylvania to take on a Union II side in which the oldest player was 20 years old and the rest were still in high school. The 2’s were not able to take advantage of their physical advantage over this young Union side on attacking set pieces but mostly dominated possession and challenges throughout the match with the Union commentators on ESPN+ constantly remarking on how much bigger and stronger the Atlanta players looked compared to their opponents.
