Gonzalo Pineda: Back To Who We Are

Hallelujah! The Five Stripes just defeated the New York Red Bulls for the first time ever in regular season play and kept the clean sheet and this is not an April Fool’s joke. There were abundant yellow cards, a midfield dust-up, squandered Red Bulls chances, blood (literally), and pretty much everything else expected from an Atlanta/Red Bulls match. The multitude of storylines aside, it was the best possible result for Atlanta United after last week’s debacle in Columbus, and it showed that this iteration of the team has the ability to bounce back from a suboptimal match.
