Prekrap - US Open Cup: ATLUTD 2.5 vs St. Louis FC - This’ll be something

Was there a game that epitomized the Atlanta United season more than the Red Bulls one? It was like the entire season wrapped into one big dumb broken package. Atlanta looked... OK? I mean they got the lead and survived the Red Bulls coming at them. Pity wasn’t great, Barco was gone still and it was clear missing him was a problem, then there was an injury, then the plane crashed into the mountain for a little while. But the team found its spirit and fought back. Jeff Larentowicz went full prison rules and body slammed everyone he could get his hands on, Josef was blowing kisses at obnoxious NYRB players and Atlanta had the lead.
