Atlanta United’s two-game road trip went about as well as expected, with the good guys scoring zero goals and picking up just a solitary point. The good news is that Atlanta wasn’t blown out in either outing and remains in contention for the playoffs thanks to some luck around the league. The bad news, however, is that Gonzalo Pineda’s side has a grueling August ahead of it, starting with a visit from the Seattle Sounders.
Seattle became the first MLS team ever to hoist the CONCACAF Champions League in April, defeating Mexican side Pumas UNAM 5-2 on aggregate in the final.
