Atlanta United 2 will face Charlotte Independence Saturday night at Sportsplex at Matthews in its first away match of the season. The match is scheduled to kick-off at 7:00 p.m. EST and will be streamed on ESPN+.
ATL UTD 2 suffered its first defeat of the 2019 season last Friday, March 15 when it lost 1-0 to the reigning back-to-back USL Champions Louisville City. Louisville scored the game’s lone goal in the 72nd minute when Brian Ownby sent in a cross from the left side where Abdou Thiam finished with a header at the near post. Despite the result, Atlanta controlled nearly 60 percent of possession, out-shot Louisville 13-7 and created nine chances to Louisville’s five.
