Columbus Crew 2-0 Atlanta United: Staff Player Ratings

I’m going to start this with a hot take: under normal conditions, Atlanta United wins this game.

Back to that in a moment, but first: this match was a disgrace and MLS and PRO should be thoroughly embarrassed they allowed it to be played.

Consider this: my hometown Birmingham Legion were scheduled to kick off in Louisville at 7 p.m. ET Saturday, a half hour earlier than the Atlanta game. Louisville is about 200 miles southwest of Columbus. They had a rain delay, probably from the same storm that hit Columbus. When did they finally kick off?
