Oooooof. Atlanta United traveled up to New Jersey for a matchup against one team that consistently plagues them in the regular season: the New York Red Bulls.
It did not end well.
The team’s run of form lately has seen them scrounge out some victories, or at least a point - either by late game heroics or late game gaffs - but that simply wasn’t good enough against the high-pressing, aggressive Red Bulls. Atlanta’s long unbeaten streak was ended abruptly in New Jersey with nary a whimper.
The match truly was a tale of two opposing styles of play.
