It was a disappointing end to an otherwise impressive season for Atlanta United. The team traveled to Toronto looking to secure the club’s first trophy and the MLS record for points in a season. The Five Stripes got neither. Instead, Toronto FC demolished Atlanta and sent the Five Stripes home in disappointing fashion.
Atlanta never got their feet on the ground and looked extremely lost at times. As is customary, as soon as the game seemed lost, the Atlanta players grew frustrated and let it show in their play and demeanor.
Maybe Tata Martino’s announcement this week on leaving the club threw the players off.
