For the first time since winning MLS Cup 2018 in front of a record crowd of 73,019 people, Atlanta United are back at Mercedes-Benz Stadium when hosting MLS debutants FC Cincinnati on Sunday.
High-flying Atlanta was the only MLS team not to score a goal in Week 1, suffering a 2-0 loss to Eastern Conference rival D.C. United on the road. Meanwhile, FC Cincinnati's first-ever MLS game got off to a soaring start on a stunning volley by Leonardo Bertone, only to suffer a 4-1 loss at the Seattle Sounders. It doesn't get any easier for the expansion side.
