Atlanta United were thoroughly outplayed on the road against Real Salt Lake but were somehow on the precipice of a point before RSL’s “Jefferson Savarino” — an apparently real person — delivered a swift and brutal final blow on a practically buzzer beating shot from distance to give RSL the 2-1 win.

And then things were still very very bad but somehow RSL didn’t score for a bit and this happened:
What a touch. What a run.

A Recap Thought: **SHRUG**
I dunno y’all, Atlanta got a point on the road. That’s not a bad thing. But it felt extremely lucky and this team was regularly outclassed by Real Salt Lake. The attack has serious issues. The schedule is extremely tight and everyone looks tired. Are they good? Maybe. Are they also maybe bad? Could be. I don’t know what there is to take away from this. Hopefully things get better at home on Wednesday.
LOL HAHAHHAHA PLEASE END ME
DSS Man of the Match
Josef scored. For most of the night he didn’t get a whole lot of service and when he did, it usually didn’t go well. Made up for it with the goal.

The rainbows were entertaining for a bit.

Excuse of the Night
