I’m just going to level with y’all and tell you up front that I was not closely following Atlanta United’s preseason finale in Birmingham, in which Atlanta scored the lone goal in two 70 (?) minute matches. I did all my catching up through the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Doug Roberson, who live-tweeted the day’s action.
Anton Walkes scored the goal for Atlanta, with Mikey Ambrose on the assist, which can be seen here.
My reading of the gameplay was that it was a choppy and dull session in which neither side generated much and Atlanta United failed to connect on any combinations that lead to goalscoring chances.
