The big news of the weekend was Atlanta United’s impending signing of the young Paraguayan striker Erik Lopez and his assignment to their 2nd division reserve squad. For many, the young Paraguayan represents a beacon of hope amidst an otherwise dismal downturn in an already tempestuous year. When Lopez will arrive and how he will feature for the 2’s is yet to be seen but that conversation seemed to be the dominant thread ahead of Atlanta United 2’s Saturday night fixture against Memphis 901 FC. Before the match, some fans were joking about how the real show in town this year may not be our beloved Five Stripes, but maybe their little brothers up the road in Kennesaw.
