The good news about Atlanta United’s 5-1 loss to the Chicago Fire on Wednesday? It won’t need to wait long to try to get the bad taste of a heavy loss out of its mouths. The bad news? It will do so without Leandro Gonzalez Pirez in a match against a New York Red Bulls club it’s never beaten in the regular season. More good news, though: Josef Martinez will be back in the lineup after staying home for the Fire match - it’s tough to say whether him playing against Chicago or not would have made a difference considering how poorly the backline in front of Brad Guzan played.
