Atlanta United 2 fell 1-0 on the road at Memphis 901 FC Wednesday night. Rocco Ríos Novo tied his season-high of six saves and Atlanta United Homegrown Bryce Washington made his professional debut.
Atlanta had an early look on goal from Connor Stanley in the fifth minute when he fired off a right-footed shot, but it was easily gathered by John Berner. Later in the first half, Ríos Novo was called into action in the 34th minute. Mark Segbers chipped a ball into the box, where Michael Salazar headed it to the back post, but the 18-year-old quickly adjusted to make a stretching save with his left hand and tapped it down into his possession.
