Atlanta United played New York City FC to a 1-0 loss Wednesday night at *checks notes Red Bull Arena, home of the New York Red Bulls. The draw moves Atlanta’s record to 2-2-5 and keeps the Five Stripes in 9th place in the Eastern Conference.
Ismael Tajouri-Shradi scored the sole goal of the match in the 68th minute after Miles Robinson errantly gave the ball away as the Five Stripes were attempting to play out of the back.
Atlanta United was without head coach Gabriel Heinze due to yellow card accumulation, which is a real rule and a real thing that happened.
