Atlanta United 2 was defeated 1-0 by Tampa Bay Rowdies at AL Lang Stadium Saturday night. The loss snapped ATL UTD 2’s three-match unbeaten streak.
“As I said to the players, I don’t think the effort or desire was lacking. We simply needed a bit more quality in key moments and to be a bit sharper overall,” said ATL UTD 2 head coach Scott Donnelly. “Tampa has improved game on game, and this is not an easy place to play. Their experience won out tonight, but our young players gained experience as well.”
Tampa scored the game’s lone goal in the 30th minute.
