Toronto FC 2-2 Atlanta United: Final Score Thoughts, Rate and React

Final Whistle Quick Thoughts

• Another very good performance away from home goes unrewarded. The draw and how it happened is extremely frustrating.
• Losing Giorgos Giakoumakis to injury is a devastating blow, there’s no way around it. A goal-per-game striker missing any time is going to hurt any team in the world. We can only hope he won’t be out of action for too long.
• Gonzalo Pineda deserves a ton of credit for the second half adjustments made after GG’s injury. I don’t think many people would expect Machop Chol to be brought on to play a central attacking midfielder role but he was and ended up playing a vital role in the performance. That’s an undeniably great move from the manager.
• You have to be extremely impressed with how this team is playing away from home when at or near full-strength. If this is how they’ll consistently play in away matches all season, it’s going to be a very successful campaign.
