Is Atlanta United back?
Let’s see this type of play consistently and then determinations can be made, but woooooo boy was that a refreshing change of pace.
The Five Stripes traveled 3000 miles out to Seattle to take on the Sounders in what equated to a large family reunion for Gonzalo Pineda, Ozzie Alonso, and Garth Lagerway. The match was the trio’s first trip back to the Pacific Northwest since they all left for Atlanta United, and it came during a moment when Atlanta desperately needed a win.
90 minutes and a Giorgos Giakoumakis brace later, Atlanta departed with all three points and a clean sheet in what may be one of the most impressive wins under Gonzalo Pineda’s tenure.
