Atlanta United’s opening act in the MLS Is Back Tournament on Saturday didn’t go according to plan, but it will look to get in the win column on Thursday morning against FC Cincinnati (9 a.m ET, ESPN). Both teams are sitting on 0 points: Florian Valot’s 4th-minute tally stood up as the New York Red Bulls came away with a 1-0 win against Atlanta following a weather delay, while Columbus Crew SC rode a pair of goals in either half - 2 by Gyasi Zardes - to cruise past Cincy 4-0.
