Atlanta United eliminated from MLS Cup Playoffs with 4-2 game three loss to Columbus Crew

Aaaaaaand that’s a wrap.

Despite an encouraging game two win, Atlanta United was unable to complete the series comeback after falling 4-2 in game three against the Columbus Crew.

The Five Stripes’ season ends after a poor defensive display away from home in a game that was almost entirely dictated by the Black and Gold.

Only one change to the squad that earned an important 4-2 victory at home on Tuesday: Jay Fortune starts in midfield to replace Matheus Rossetto who was forced out of the last game with a calf injury. All three Designated Players line up to start the match, which should give the team a much more significant spark in attack compared to the last visit to Lower.
