Neither team that took the pitch tonight at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was quite the same as when the two stood athwart each other way back in early March. That day, Atlanta United delivered a thorough, 6-1 beatdown of Minnesota United on the occasion of the club’s snowy home opener. Tonight, Atlanta — as-yet-undefeated at Mercedes-Benz — faced a Loons squad with experience, both from the season itself and from the addition of key veterans. It’s a team that has a long way to go, but one that's also come so far already. They might only be clinging to the slimmest of mathematical hopes of reaching the postseason while Atlanta’s ticket is already punched, but if MNUFC couldn’t take that ticket away tonight, they could ensure that Atlanta would not leave with their gaudy home record intact.
