+14 
Just in time for the May The 4th, Atlanta United hosted star-studded kit wearing Minnesota United on Saturday. Desperate for their first win in 6 weeks-running, The Five Stripes played directly into the hands of the visitors, with Minnesota putting on one of the most solid defensive displays from an away team at Mercedes Benz Stadium this season.
Ending in a 2-1 win for the away team, Atlanta now faces mounting pressure from supporters amid new questions being asked of manager Gonzalo Pineda. Asking for patience and time, Atlanta now looks to a double match week with the Open Cup on Tuesday against Charlotte Independence and another crucial MLS home match against D.C. United on Saturday, May 11th. View the scenes from this weekend’s match from our photographer Matt Dingle.
