Atlanta United faced yet another setback in their MLS season, falling 2-0 to the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. This loss keeps Atlanta United at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, currently in 14th place with 27 points. Their record now stands at 5-14-12 overall and 1-9-5 on the road this season.
New England Revolution, sitting at 11th in the Eastern Conference with 32 points, entered the match seeking to recover from a 1-0 defeat against the Philadelphia Union. The match was significant for Atlanta United as it marked the second game for interim head coach Pablo Moreira, who took over following the dismissal of Caleb Porter.
The game was Atlanta United’s first of their final three road matches this season. Following this loss, they will face LAFC and Inter Miami, and conclude with a home game against D.C. United on Decision Day at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Previously, Atlanta United played to a 1-1 draw against San Diego FC and won their last away match against Nashville with a score of 1-0.
Both teams have already been eliminated from playoff contention, reflecting a challenging season for Atlanta United. In the match against New England, Atlanta United fielded the same lineup seen in the draw against San Diego. The strong defensive performances from players Juan Berrocal and Stian Gregersen were notable, while midfielders Bartosz Slisz and Steven Alzate returned for the matchup. Furthermore, Alexey Miranchuk resumed his role as the team’s number 10, allowing captain Miguel Almirón to play on the left wing, while Jamal Thiaré made his fourth consecutive start in MLS Regular Season play. Key players Matt Edwards, Jay Fortune, and Will Reilly remained unavailable due to injury, and Luke Brennan was away with the U.S. U-20 national team for the U-20 World Cup.
Atlanta United had some bright moments in the first half, with several attempts to score, including a disallowed goal by Jamal Thiaré due to offside. However, New England took the lead in the second half with a goal from MLS debutant Dor Turgeman in the 72nd minute. Just three minutes later, Turgeman assisted Leo Campana to score the second goal, sealing the victory for New England.
Despite showing an improved performance in recent matches, Atlanta United continues to struggle as they remain at the bottom of the league, reflecting ongoing issues that have plagued their season.
