ATL UTD drop MLS season opener on the road in D.C. United

A frustrating start to the MLS season for Atlanta United, who fell by a score of 2-0 on a cold, wet night in the nation’s capital versus D.C. United.

With another Concacaf Champions League match on the horizon, Frank de Boer made two changes to the lineup that won in Atlanta on Thursday. Tito Villalba made the starting XI in place of Pity Martinez, while Mikey Ambrose came onto the right flank for Julian Gressel. The full XI: Brad Guzan (GK), Leandro González Pirez (CB), Michael Parkhurst (CB), Miles Robinson (CB), Brek Shea (LWB), Eric Remedi (CM), Darlington Nagbe (CM), Mikey Ambrose (RWB), Ezequiel Barco (FWD), Josef Martinez (FWD), Tito Villalba (FWD).
