Atlanta United FC News Release


THE BRONX, N.Y. - Atlanta United fell 4-0 at New York City FC on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium. Three quick goals to open the second half propelled New York City past Atlanta. The club will now have its longest break of the season, refraining from action until June 25.

Atlanta looked to have earned a penalty kick in the 13th minute after a good combination play between Alexey Miranchuk and Jamal Thiaré. The Senegalese striker appeared to be taken down in the box by New York's goalkeeper Tomas Romero, but no call was made. Referee Sergii Boiko went to video review to check the play, but upheld his initial decision.

Brad Guzan was called into action for the first time in the 22nd minute when he saved a header from Thiago Martins following an NYCFC corner. Ten minutes later, Atlanta nearly scored the opening goal. Miranchuk played Brooks Lennon down the right wing, who then cut the ball back to just outside the box to open Miranchuk. The midfielder took a touch and curled a left-footed shot towards the far corner only to be denied by the crossbar.

Moments later Derrick Williams looked to have put Atlanta up off a set piece with a back post header, but Thiaré was ruled offside after he got a slight deflection before the ball crossed the line. Instead, New York got the opening goal just before halftime in the 44th minute. Hannes Wolf collected a loose pass at the top of Atlanta's box. He laid the ball into the path of Maxi Moralez who calmly slotted the ball past Guzan for the 1-0 halftime lead.

NYCFC had the better of the opening minutes in the second half. In the 54th minute, Guzan had to make a point-blank save on Monsef Bakrara off a counterattack after the striker was setup by Agustin Ojeda. But moments later, Bakrar got his revenge when he fired a strike into the top corner out of Guzan's reach to double New York City's lead. Three minutes later, Wolf extended NYCFC's lead with a curling effort from inside the box to the far post for a 3-0 lead. New York City continued to pile on the pressure and Wolf picked up a brace in the 59th minute to cap a five-minute, three-goal stretch.

Atlanta United (4-9-5, 17 points) returns to action Wednesday, June 25 when it travels to face Columbus Crew at Lower.com Field (7:30 p.m. ET, MLS Season Pass, 92.9 The Game, La Mejor). All Atlanta United matches are available with an MLS Season Pass subscription, located on the Apple TV app.
