Derrick Etienne: My Jaw Dropped

Where do we start?

Atlanta United put on a show Saturday night against the Portland Timbers and do you ever wonder how unfortunate it is to have a name that people literally scream when a tree is falling?

Anyway, the Five Stripes played the role of lumberjack as they slotted home five, count ‘em, five goals against Portland. A five goal match hasn’t been accomplished by an Atlanta United squad since 2019, and if we’re being honest this one easily could’ve ended with another two or three for the good guys.

5-1 was the final score, and if you don’t see the progression and proof of concept of Gonzalo Pineda’s ideas coming to fruition I genuinely don’t know what to tell you.
