Oh no.
Not much went to plan for Atlanta United in the first half of their 2-0 loss to L.A. Galaxy, and a moderately better second half couldn’t salvage the overall match. Gonzalo Pineda went with an unchanged starting XI in favor of consistency as opposed to fielding Josef Martinez and Thiago Almada, and the squad simply came out flat.
L.A. made Atlanta pay early when Chicharito found himself wide open in the box and drilled Rocco Rios Novo from eight yards out. The rebound was tapped in, and from that moment the Five Stripes were chasing the game.
