This afternoon went about how you’d expect when a top-tier team plays a team that hasn’t scored in a month. The Colorado Rapids looked slow and uncreative and Atlanta United FC made it look easy.
First Half
Both teams had a couple of chances early, but Atlanta United got on the scoreboard first in the 10th minute. Julian Gressel served a ball into the box to Miguel Almiron, and after Tim Howard slid early, Almiron was able to chip it over him and into the back of the net.
