Atlanta United’s unbeaten run came to a close Wednesday night, but there was certainly no lack of energy inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“The crowd was fantastic,” said captain Michael Parkhurst. “They really pushed us tonight. They were loud the whole time. They appreciated the defending (and) the effort the guys were putting in. They tried to give us that boost and honestly, I thought we had some big chances.”
Atlanta was piling on the pressure early on in the match until a first-half red card threw a wrench in the game plan and the home side had to adapt with a man disadvantage.
