Atlanta United 2 traveled to Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City to take on the team formerly known as Swope Park Rangers. These two teams have had a fun season series so far with SKC’s Enoch Mushagalusa bringing his own special brand of chaos to each match. With the 2s at the end of a 5-matches-in-15-day stretch, Jack Collison was hoping that he has rotated his team enough to survive the day.
Abdoulaye Diop got his first start of the season in the 2s midfield in place of Chris Allan. Jay Fortune and Robbie Mertz retained their normal midfield positions, while a new attacking trio of Tyler Wolff, Darwin Matheus, and Connor Stanley sought to create a little chaos of their own in SKC’s defensive third.
