Atlanta just can’t find the formula! Gonzalo Pineda’s team fell this Saturday night 3-0 once morest Charlotte FC, at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and deepens their football crisis. The participation of its star Thiago Almada disappointed once more.
The “5-stripes” cannot be happy at all since their sporting moment is extremely poor and they have lost five games in a row in both Major League Soccer and the US Open Cup.
Atlanta United’s chance to get back on track to victory seemed unbeatable because they faced a team from Charlotte that is trailing behind in the standings and that did not have its star, Argentine striker Enzo Copetti, who arrived last week to five accumulated yellow cards. However, the formula of the Mexican Pineda failed once more.
Although the low level of the Georgia box might predict that a defeat was possible, it was unthinkable for any Charlotte fan that their team was going to thrash with such force.
Almada disappoints once more
United fans were also excited that their star, the Argentine Thiago Almada, can resume his good level, but nothing has changed compared to the last few games. In this Saturday’s duel, the world champion with Argentina in Qatar 2022 did not make a single shot on goal and only created one goal opportunity.
In the first dates, Almada displayed a superlative level that made everyone and everyone think that he would win the MLS Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, but his latest performances have disappointed and now that award is moving away .
The loss once morest Charlotte
The fall of Atlanta United began to cook from minute 18 of the first half, when Justin Meram, former player of the five bands, opened the scoring. At 7′ into the second half, the visit increased its advantage from 12 steps on behalf of Karol Swiderski; Meram himself sealed the victory at 57′. The discount for the locals was scored by the Mexican Juan José Purata at minute 86.
The only good news for Gonzalo Pineda was the return to the courts of his striker Giorgos Giakoumakis, who has not been present in recent weeks due to injury. The Greek accumulates five goals in the season.
Atlanta will seek to break the crisis next Wednesday, when it receives the Colorado Rapids at home. For its part, Charlotte FC will host the Chicago Fire that same day.
