A lack of organization and communication were among the issues for Atlanta United’s defense in the second half Saturday.
A by-the-numbers look at Atlanta United versus Charlotte, which will play Saturday at Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina:
Atlanta United first-year manager Ronny Deila made a mass substitution in the 83rd minute of what was a 2-2 game. He decided to bring Ajani Fortune, defender Derrick Williams, and Edwin Mosquera into the match.
