Ten minutes into Atlanta United’s match in Vancouver, things were looking up for the away side. Seeking their third consecutive victory, the Five Stripes jumped all over a rattled Whitecaps side early, getting a seventh minute goal from Greg Garza to reward them for their hard work. But things change quickly in soccer. And this much was clear after the final whistle sent AUFC home as 3-1 losers.
Tata Martino and company will be especially aggrieved at the nature of the defeat. After all, the home side scored all three of their goals from corner kicks.
