Atlanta United had a tough time in this one for about 90 minutes. San Jose was getting decent chances while the home side couldn’t get things working in the final third. There was a missed penalty as Atlanta traded away their usual penalty taker in the offseason.
Things were pretty tricky otherwise as Jeremy Ebobisse scored early and Cristian Espinoza caused a lot of problems for the backline.
BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERED BECAUSE IT TURNED OUT THAT WEHEN JONATHAN MENSAH CAME OVER FROM COLUMBUS HE BROUGHT ALONG THE INABILITY TO HOLD A LEAD AFTER THE 75TH MINUTE.
