Atlanta, GA
Atlanta United 2 Earns First Road Win in 3-2 Victory Over Huntsville City FC | Atlanta United 2
Immediately after Huntsville kicked back off, the home side blitzed toward Atlanta’s goal to create two uncontested chances around the penalty area, but 19-year-old keeper Jayden Hibbert reacted just in time to dive in front of Huntsville’s first attempt before the ball bounced back to the feet of Huntsville. The home side got off its second open chance but Hibbert, still on the ground from the first save, poked out his leg to keep Huntsville scoreless through 31 minutes.
Atlanta doubled the lead in the 52nd minute when Academy defender Miles Hadley notched his first professional goal. After Atlanta played a short free kick from 35-yards out, Armas floated a pass into the box before landing at the feet of Hadley, who slid in a right-footed shot to open his account in MLS NEXT Pro.
