Stop me if you’ve heard this story before. Atlanta United played the Charleston Battery in the fourth round of the US Open Cup and while missing most of the star players struggled to pull ahead of the USL team but finally won. The doughnut of time is truly a place where you may start on a journey only to find that you have ended exactly where you began.
Anyway, the team will have yet another chance not to get eliminated in the tournament as they take on the Columbus Crew. Ironically, Atlanta advanced after its match in Charleston was moved to Kennesaw because of terrible field conditions, something the Crew benefited from with water replacing sand.
