There are no more excuses left for you to throw at the narrative. There’s no one left to blame for the misfortune. Simply put, Atlanta United got outsmarted and beaten fair and square on their own turf on Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t the brutal schedule’s fault. It wasn’t the evil PRO Referees out to get us. Ben Olsen and D.C. United came into a sold out Bobby Dodd Stadium with a game plan and executed it to perfection.
To say D.C. outplayed Atlanta would be mislabeling it. The stats show that beyond the 3-1 scoreline, the Five Stripes dominated in just about every facet of the match.
