The New York Red Bulls got their 2017 MLS campaign off to a winning start with a testing 2-1 victory over an opponent, Atlanta United, that seemed superior for long stretches. It was a smash-and-grab win: RBNY was down from the 25th minute...
...but never quite out, despite Atlanta's best efforts to apply the knockout blow.
Without showing any great sign of being able to turn the tide, RBNY hung in there against a home team buoyed by a large and supportive crowd - and rallied late to spoil Atlanta's party.
One comeback, two goals, three points for @NewYorkRedBulls.
