Atlanta United fell 3-0 to Austin FC on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Juanjo Purata made his club debut as a second half substitute.

“We always want to play good, and you can see that the team at times progresses the ball very well against a solid team that came here to be in the middle block and to try and counter. They were trying to break through counterattacks and they did very successfully.” said Atlanta United Head Coach Gonzalo Pineda.

Atlanta (5-8-5, 20 points) continues its three-match homestand at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a meeting against Real Salt Lake on Wednesday, July 13 (7:30 p.m.,ESPN+, Bally Sports South, Sports Radio 92-9 The Game, La Mejor).
