Gonzalo Pineda: Today, three penalties should have been called and only one was called

Atlanta United just couldn’t pull it off Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Union on a night when they initially had everything leaning their way.

Saving the monthly chat about how PRO is blatantly missing calls for later, the Five Stripes looked decent for most of the match. But for 8 minutes at the end of the first half, they completely fell apart and allowed Philly to net three goals.

The film review will likely pick out a handful of glaring mistakes that need to be fixed before the quick turnaround against Columbus Crew on Saturday, but no team can expect to lose focus in a match like that and then turn around and pull a result.
