Five Stripe Final: An Atlanta United podcast

NEW YORK RED BULLS 2-0 ATLANTA UNITED Sep 30, 2018

Show notes

In the biggest game of the year in MLS, New York Red Bulls suffocated Atlanta United on the way to a 2-0 win that brings the Supporters’ Shield race to nearly a dead heat with three games remaining. It took seven minutes for Atlanta United to move the ball past midfield. Red Bulls pressed the Five Stripes into submission and found themselves with multiple chances. A potential penalty on a Brad Guzan tackle went to VAR and was overturned, and a Tim Parker goal was ruled just offside. Atlanta touched the ball in the 18-yard-box maybe twice. Eventually, the pressing paid off. A New York corner redirected goalward and Chris McCann slapped the ball for a Red Bulls penalty. This one would not be overturned. Atlanta United returns home up one point in the Supporters’ Shield standings. With three games remaining, Red Bulls will face San Jose, Philadelphia and Orlando City. Atlanta United will likely need to win all three of their remaining games to earn their first trophy in club history. The Five Stripes face New England on Saturday in Atlanta. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Would the AFA want him back? Would the fans? How realistic is this? Miguel Almiron: What is Peter’s impressions of him both while he was at Lanus and now after seeing what he's done in MLS?
