Atlanta United shutout Philadelphia Union on Saturday night 2-0, bouncing back from a 3-2 midweek loss in Dallas. It was Atlanta’s league-leading sixth road win on the season and the team’s sixth clean sheet of the season. The Five Stripes are still at the top of the Supporters Shield standings with 40 points in 20 games.
In the end their performance on Saturday night was strong, but it was not without its flaws. Atlanta struggled mightily in the first half, especially in their overall passing. The team looked out of sorts and not on the same page with each other.
