Atlanta United vs Toronto FC: Match Thread and How to Watch

The insanity that was Thiago Almada’s stoppage time comeback, game winning brace will be hard to follow up, but the Five Stripes will do so nonetheless (in a calmer fashion, maybe) tonight as they host Toronto FC as their second opponent of the MLS season.

The potential debut of Atlanta’s newest Designated Player Giorgos Giakoumakis, whose visa was approved yesterday, will be the primary talking point of this match. With big and currently empty shoes to fill, fans and coaches alike will be eager to see the impact the Greek striker has to a squad that wasn’t very sharp in front of goal a week ago, save for the spectacular.
