The final whistle blew in Mercedes Benz Stadium. Only this time, it was a different reaction than what fans of the Five Stripes have grown accustomed to. The sound of 70,000 boos filled the home of Atlanta United as new expansion club FC Cincinnati spoiled the MLS Cup celebration with a 1-1 draw.

The past two years have been nothing historic for Atlanta United.
