Atlanta United is still atop the Supporters’ Shield standings after 21 games, but another home draw is putting a dampener on the mood in Atlanta. The Five Stripes played with a one-man advantage for the last thirty minutes against the Seattle Sounders, but failed to score a second goal and secure the win. There was one VAR call that went Seattle’s way, giving the Sounders their only goal in the match, but Atlanta cannot hold too many complaints.
There are Atlanta fans that will say refereeing and VAR went against their team, but the team has no one to blame but themselves.
