The Swope Park Rangers (3-13-6, 15 points) fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat to Atlanta United 2 (5-13-5, 20 points) at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw, Georgia on Friday night. Jackson Conway and a Jake Davis own goal put the hosts into a 2-0 lead, before Davis responded to provide an excellent assist for Wilson Harris to pull a goal back late for SPR.
The hosts were the first to threaten as Atlanta United FC loanee Andrew Carleton saw a curling effort well saved by John Pulskamp, who tipped the ball around the post in the fourth minute.
