Atlanta United 2 Takes Down Divisional Rivals Chattanooga FC 1-0 | Atlanta United 2
In the 35th minute, midfielder Matías Gallardo floated in a corner kick that met Nick Firmino in the center of the box for a dangerous header, but his attempt was blocked away.
Gallardo found a chance of his own, finding himself on the other side of a cross sent in by Luke Brennan before ripping a powerful left-footed volley at the back post that narrowly curved away from goal.
Atlanta held Chattanooga to zero shot attempts in the first half, outshooting the visitors 8-0.
ATL UTD 2 came out of the halftime break on the front foot, as captain Matt Edwards slipped a pass beyond the Chattanooga defense for Karim Tmimi in the 50th minute, but was forced to take his attempt at a difficult angle and was ultimately scooped up by the keeper.
Chattanooga did not test Cohen until the 59th minute when the Atlanta keeper got in front of a strong shot taken outside from the box.
Cohen came up big in the 93rd minute, making an incredible diving save to secure the clean sheet and victory for ATL UTD 2.

Trees for Tuition raises money for scholarships
A holiday tradition that began as a small side project for two Atlanta teenagers a decade ago has grown into a major scholarship program helping local students pursue college dreams — all through the sale and delivery of Christmas trees.
ATLANTA – A holiday tradition that began as a small side project for two Atlanta teenagers a decade ago has grown into a major scholarship program helping local students pursue college dreams — all through the sale and delivery of Christmas trees.
What we know:
The effort, called Trees for Tuition, started in 2015 when founders Jack and Will decided to use a pickup truck to deliver a few Fraser firs to neighbors. That first year, they sold about 30 trees. Last season, the business expanded dramatically, with nearly 4,000 trees delivered across metro Atlanta and more than $50,000 donated to support scholarships and local nonprofits.
Trees for Tuition now operates seven locations across the metro area. Customers can visit in person to select a tree or schedule a delivery online as early as the next day. The group sources most of its Fraser firs from North Carolina, with additional Noble firs shipped in from Oregon.
The founders say their goal is simple: make buying a Christmas tree easier for families while giving Atlanta teens and young adults a financial boost toward their education.
What you can do:
Tree lots are open from noon to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends, including Friday. More information is available at treesfortuition.com.
It’s a busy day of travel at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. And although there are a few delays, there have not been any cancelations as of noon. We also now have more info about what happened to the flight to Amsterdam that was canceled on Tuesday night.
