Pochettino with a VERY appealing lineup in Glendale against El Tri. 2030 is still a while away, but a lot of these kids will be instrumental in the Gold Cup next year and in the Olympics in 2028. Great first impression from a lot of them so far.

Is Breel Embolo the problem, or is it the service around him? He's shown glimpses, but the connection from midfield has been brutal, and all three DPs can't come back next season.

Atlanta United came from behind twice to draw NYCFC 2-2 at the Benz. Plenty of fight from a depleted side, but two more points slip away in a tight playoff race. @shwrites.bsky.social and @jpopkin.bsky.social's three takeaways: youtu.be/eFeDKC95UJ4

Full time in the Benz. A six pointer turns into a one pointer for both sides, who leave with a 2-2 draw. Atlanta United went down twice, but equalized twice through Galoppo and Fortune. A week off now for the Five Stripes, who now have five points in their last three.

020

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Five additional minutes for one of these two sides to break the deadlock. Still 2-2 in the Benz.

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Embolo, again, soooo close to swiping one off of Romero, tackling the ball off the goalkeeper's foot but out of play.

010

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Final two subs for Atlanta sees Alzate enter for goalscorer Galoppo, and Cameron Dunbar comes on for Tristan Muyumba, making his first team debut as well from short term call-up. Maybe the MLS Next Pro Playmaker of the Year can make something happen in the final few minutes?

000

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Five Stripes really threatening now, attacking with numberes in the NYC third of the pitch, momentum entirely with Atlanta after the equalizer. Can they capitalize on it for their first lead of the match?

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

GOOD RUN OF PLAY FOR ATLANTA RESULTS IN THEIR FIRST TRUE SHOT ATTEMPT OF THE SECOND HALF, AND FORTUNE PUTS JUST ENOUGH ON IT TO PREVENT ROMERO FROM MAKING THE STOP. 15 MINUTES TO GO, TIE GAME ONCE MORE

Ojeda sends a worldie into the top corner... but a late offside flag does come up to wave it away. Tata Martino still isn't happy, though, and earns himself a yellow card.

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Cooper Sanchez's trial run as a winger is over, and now Jay Fortune takes up the position out left in the 67th minute.

010

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

There's Andrés Perea. There's NYCFC's second. Ojeda crossses and Perea, unmarked and running through the middle of the box, smashes it into the net. 1-2.

Tomas Jacob is off after 54 minutes, in his place comes ATL UTD 2 defender Daniel Chica for his first team debut.

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

New York get a look at goal as Atlanta's backline loses shape, but Cavallo's strike goes over the bar. Atlanta seem content to sit back and try for the long ball in the second half so far.

000

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Ball rolling again and we're BACK UNDERWAY in the Benz. Will either side do what they need to leave with all three points?

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Halftime in Atlanta, all square between Atlanta United and NYCFC. An early own goal was equalized by Galoppo's (controversially not offside?) first goal for the club, and we remain deadlocked at the break. Second 45 coming up soon.

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Baez lofts it up, Mihaj seemingly declines to take a touch and puts his hand up in apology as the ball rolls out for a New York throw.

010

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Free kick given to Atlanta right at the corner of the NYCFC 18, Muyumba and Baez stand over it, presumably swinging it to the back post. Three minutes of stoppage added to the first half.

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

Yellow card goes to Luke Brennan after a foul in midfield on Nico Fernández, who Atlanta have fouled at least four times now.

Scarves and Spikes @scarvesandspikes.com · 27/09/2026

NYCFC attacking predominantly down Atlanta's left side with Ojeda and Traore, with Tata Martino now moving swapping Edwards to the left and Baez to the right temporarily as an adjustment.
