Atlanta United lost 1-0 on Sunday evening to New York Red Bulls, snapping a five-game consecutive shutout win streak. Tom Barlow scored Red Bulls’ only goal in the 65th minute on a header at the far post. That goal came 30 minutes after Red Bulls defender Tim Parker earned a red card, meaning New York found a way to win with one less man on the pitch.
It was a frustrating affair for an Atlanta United team that has yet to beat Red Bulls in regular season competition. In fact, the Five Stripes haven’t even scored a goal in Red Bull Arena yet, despite four matches and 360 minutes (all including playoffs) to do so.
