ORLANDO, Fla. — Atlanta United fell into a deep hole in the MLS is Back Tournament with a shorthanded, 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati on Thursday morning from ESPN’s Wide World of Sports.
Atlanta went down to 10 men in the 26th minute when Jake Mulraney was sent off for his second yellow card of the match, and FC Cincinnati got the game-winner in the 76th minute in a match that began at 9 a.m. The club is now 0-2 in group play in the tournament after an opening loss, also by a 1-0 score, to the New York Red Bulls.
