The curse is broken. You read that right, the curse is finally broken after seven long years. With Saturday’s 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls, Atlanta United have finally put one in the win column of their all-time series against the Empire State club.
The starting lineup mostly returned to what the team had been playing before last week’s match at Columbus with a couple of changes: Caleb Wiley dropped back to play at left back in place of recently-injured Andrew Gutman and Derrick Etienne Jr., who was handed his first start of the season, took on the duties of left winger.
