In Atlanta United’s first CONCACAF Champions League game in club history and the first game of Frank de Boer’s tenure, things went very, very poorly.
The Five Stripes were overrun by C.S. Herediano in a 3-1, first-leg loss.
The things that happened in the game that was played
It did not start well.
It did not immediately get better.
Atlanta United spent the entirety of the first half looking, quite frankly, discombobulated AF. The Five/Nine Stripes gifted Herediano the opening two goals of the tie and then literally couldn’t get out of their own damn way.
