Atlanta United lost the right to host the Seattle Sounders in a second straight MLS Cup Final thanks to a pair of wondergoals. This of course means that the team will have to settle for just two trophies in 2019 and won’t get a chance to watch Seattle Concacaf-up MBS, but Atlanta will finish in second place to Matt Doyle once again. This is a terrific accomplishment as it’s difficult or impossible to repeat as MLS champion.
Given how the team got to the Eastern Conference Final, this is a pretty bitter loss and the forces of the Dread God certainly seemed to exert its cosmic will on the result.
