You could probably count the number of empty seats in Bobby Dodd Stadium on Sunday night.
MLS arrived in Atlanta with a bang. Over 55,000 fans - a sellout - packed the venue on Sunday night to witness history being made. On the scoreboard: after a shaky first twenty minutes spent shaking off opening night jitters, Yamil Asad scored the historic first goal in club history in the 25th minute on a beautiful pass by Tyrone Mears. Unfortunately for Atlanta fans, Daniel Royer’s 76th minute goal leveled it at 1, followed by a goal by Bradley Wright-Phillips which stood as the game-winner to stake RBNY to a 2-1 advantage.
