New York City FC II slip past Atlanta United 2 in Athens
The visitors from NYC earn a 3-2 win in the hot Georgia sun
Atlanta United 2 played host to New York City FC II in Athens, Georgia Friday afternoon in MLS Next Pro action. Kennesaw State was unavailable for this match day and the 2’s made the short trip to the UGA Turner Soccer Complex. The 1 PM kickoff featured sweltering heat, frequent stoppages for cramps, and multiple hydration breaks in the choppy, start-stop match.
Atlanta scored the first goal and the last goal but allowed three NYC FC II goals in-between to fall 3-2 under the extremely warm and sunny skies.
The match was free to attend for the fans and Atlanta United 2 will host Huntsville SC on Wednesday, June 11 at 5 PM in another free MLS Next Pro match played at the UGA Turner Soccer Complex in Athens.
