One thousand eight hundred and ninety-three days have come and gone since Atlanta United and Chattanooga FC last met. The Five Stripes' first-ever game as a team came against Chattanooga in February 2017, with the good guys winning 4-0 off goals from Hector Villalba, Yamil Asad, Josef Martinez, and Andrew Carleton. A lot has happened in Five Stripes’ land since that historical victory, but once again these two teams are on a collision course. Atlanta begins its US Open Cup defense (champions for three years running) in the third round against Chattanooga this Wednesday at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.
