Atlanta United’s debut in the MLS is Back tournament did not go how some fans wanted it to. It’s back to square one for Frank de Boer and his team if they want to earn three crucial points Thursday morning. Atlanta lost to the Red Bulls 1-0 after an early goal from Florian Valot, and although Atlanta had a higher xG, they suffered a good bit and need to make some changes.
The real surprise came from the midfield. The partnership of Mo Adams and Hyndman didn’t work out well.
