Ezequiel Barco’s wonderstrike salvages a draw for Atlanta United in penultimate preseason match

Atlanta United fell out of contention for the Carolina Challenge Cup title tonight after a 1-1 draw with Minnesota United. Not that it really would have mattered anyway, but it really doesn’t matter because no one cares because EZEQUIEL BARCO WONDERGOLAZZZZOOOOOOOO. But we’ll get to that.

The Five Stripes threatened to look like a crisp, cohesive unit a few times in the first half. A few shots on target from Almiron and Martinez nearly broke the deadlock but the half ended with neither team on the board.

The highlight of the half came when Barco cut in from the left wing to draw the fullback in and played a gorgeous through ball to a sprinting Miggy in behind the back line.
