Orlando City’s 12-game unbeaten run came to a screeching halt just minutes after a silly red card on Cesar Araujo in Atlanta that turned a 2-1 lead into a 3-2 loss. Araujo may not be completely at fault for the loss, but the Lions seemed in control until the sending off of their best defensive midfielder, and once Atlanta got level, the Five Stripes smelled the blood in the water.

The Lions saw goalkeeper Pedro Gallese give up an uncharacteristic howler to end all howlers just five minutes in, then fell apart for a span of less than two minutes just past the half-hour mark to dig a 3-0 hole. It was a brutal way to start the match. From there, the Lions dominated play.
