Atlanta United ended a dismal 2025 season — and the decorated career of Brad Guzan — with a 1-1 draw against D.C. United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. As Guzan said afterwards, Saturday was a microcosm of Atlanta’s season: it took a first-half lead behind a great goal from Miguel Almiron before conceding to Gabriel Pirani in the second half on a fairly fluky sequence.

While Atlanta couldn’t send their captain and goalkeeper off into the sunset with a win, they at least avoid a last-place finish. Still, this season was awful by any stretch. Sydney and Tyler unpack the night at the Benz while diving into postgame comments made by both Guzan and Ronny Deila.
