One more, for old times’ sake.
Atlanta United’s 2026 season came to a blunderous end on Saturday night in Harrison, New Jersey, a place familiar to seeing the Five Stripes stumble over the years. This time, with nothing on the line for either side, Atlanta added one more loss to the record in a 3-0 defeat. The team failed to register a single shot on target, while Red Bull New York put up 7 on Jayden Hibbert, who made his first MLS appearance of the year.
