The football played by Atlanta United on January 28th, 2023 against Chattanooga FC may not be worth writing home about, but the match itself marked a stellar moment in southern soccer that should overshadow a scoreline that’s admittedly a blip in the overall timeline of the Five Stripes.
Why? A history between the two clubs is forming that could be molded to benefit both, and the supporters from both clubs showed up and showed out on a cold day in Chattanooga, Tennessee (I had to).
Yes, the defense was admittedly atrocious, that’s a point that needs to be discussed (and will be).
