Atlanta United 2 lost 1-0 against Nashville SC Wednesday night at First Tennessee Park. Despite ATL UTD 2 taking more shots and dominating possession, substitute Taylor Washington scored late for Nashville to steal the three points.
A physical first half prevented both teams from producing many scoring opportunities, but perhaps the best moment came in the 19th minute on a Nashville build up. Ismaila Jome sent in a cross from left side which took a deflection and skipped to Lebo Molto near the penalty spot. Standing on the edge of the six-yard-box, Atlanta goalkeeper Mitch Hildebrandt denied Moloto from point-blank range with a diving effort to his left to keep the match scoreless.
