Atlanta United 0-1 Charlotte FC: Rate and React

Final Whistle Thoughts

Gonzalo Pineda opted for a back 3 without Ozzie Alonso and Josef Martinez against Charlotte FC Sunday, but it didn’t work as the team failed to disrupt the hosts for much of the game. Combine that with a gift given by Brad Guzan. defending a corner in the first half and you get a ho-hum loss.

To be honest, it wasn’t all bad. Thiago Almada continued to show his fine quality and Atlanta did eventually settle into a better shape. The team produced more xG than Charlotte on the day and deserved a goal, but the team has some tactical issues to iron out before they host FC Cincinnati on Saturday.
