The red, black and gold hit the field for the very first time today, and the team didn’t disappoint as MLS expansion club Atlanta United travelled to Tennessee and routed NPSL side Chattanooga FC in a 4-0 preseason victory.
For the first time in history, Atlanta fans were able to witness 11 players take the pitch. Head coach Tata Martino lined his squad up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and the much anticipated starting XI included: Alec Kann (GK), Greg Garza (LB), Leandro González Pirez (LCB), Michael Parkhurst (RCB), Tyrone Mears (RB), Chris McCann (LCM), Jeff Larentowicz (RCM), Miguel Almirón (CAM), Yamil Asad (LM), Tito Villalba (RM), and Kenwyne Jones (ST).
