On a hot, humid night on a rain-soaked field in Charleston, Atlanta United 2 reached the halfway mark of the final season in the USL Championship. The match started with a bang as newly signed draft pick Tristan Trager scored an unassisted brace. By the end of the night, this young side would add another brace by Jackson Conway and five yellow cards spread across the squad. While such a high-scoring wild and fiery performance would feel like a rare treat for many fans, this was a sign of a potential emergence for the 2s.
Through the first 18 matches of the season, the 2s sit in 11th place in the East with 14 points (4w-12L-2T).
