Welcome to Winners and Losers. Here we discuss the Winners and Losers from Atlanta United’s most recent match and provide surface level analysis.

Winners

With one very important exception, the New York Red Bulls have always had Atlanta United’s number, and Atlanta’s first game in the MLS is Back tournament was no exception. Another 1-0 loss to Atlanta’s biggest rivals seems pretty on brand for 2020, unfortunately.

Guzan was Atlanta’s man of the match, in my humble opinion. Atlanta’s veteran goalkeeper kept Atlanta in the game on multiple occasions.

Bello, Atlanta’s most promising homegrown player, was Atlanta’s most threatening attacking player for large portions of the match.
