10 home losses. Atlanta United fall 3-2 to the Chicago Fire. Three errors by Lucas Hoyos led to all three goals, and official playoff elimination is now a loss to NYCFC away. New Three Takeaways from @shwrites.bsky.social @jpopkin.bsky.social @atlpilgrim.bsky.social 👇 youtu.be/1hp0FhKEAyc

Atlanta United drops another game at home in front of their own fans, this time to Chicago Fire. To be fair, Lucas Hoyos was just trying to show southern hospitality by giving them a few goals.

A bright start gave way to yet another home loss as Atlanta United fall 3-2 to the Chicago Fire. Elimination could be made official on Wednesday at NYCFC. Recap from @shwrites.bsky.social:

Full time. A late push leaves Atlanta empty handed, and the Fire leave with their first MLS win in the Benz. Final score 2-3 as Atlanta lose a tenth home match this year. Away to NYCFC, and potential elimination, coming up Wednesday.

That's a potential result saving clearance from Jonathan Dean, who heads away a cross at the back post where Fafa Picault was crashing. Five minutes of stoppage time added to the end here.

Galoppo exits, replaced by Luke Brennan with less than four minutes of regulation and stoppage to play. Atlanta chasing an equalizing goal, down 2-3.

Another yellow to Chicago, this time to Gomez after a needless push to Alonso, who makes an absolute meal of it, and then gets his own yellow in the aftermath. Good job everyone.

Chicago's Mbokazi takes down Muyumba as he crosses midfield, seeing a yellow card for the challenge. Muyumba slow to get up, but will continue.

Matt Edwards comes on to replace Paulo Diaz in the 80th minute. Tomas Jacob will shift to center back, with Edwards taking the right.

Paulo Diaz with a foul at midfield, and he goes into the referee's book. Diaz had a great start to the match, but it's all gotten away from him in this second half.

Atlanta are getting a few looks at goal now, and what a match this could be if they do find that equalizer. Still nearly twenty minutes to play.

EMBOLO GETS BY A DEFENDER, HE'S THROUGH ON GOAL, EMBOLOOOOoooooh nooooooo How on earth did that come off his foot so wrong...

OH WOW HELLO BREEL EMBOLO WHAT A HEADER!! HE SMASHES HOME THE CROSS FROM BAEZ, IT'S 2-3

Fafa Picault for Alexey Miranchuk, Tristan Muyumba for Jay Fortune as Atlanta now battle back from a familiar 3-1 deficit at home. Half an hour to go.

Chicago score it anyway. What a mess. Up there for one of the most chaotic things I've ever seen in here. 1-3.

Indirect free kick at the top of the six... after a yellow to Hoyos... and another false start... and another... does nobody know how these work??

Blatant backpass to Hoyos, and now Chicago will have an indirect free kick inside of Atlanta's six yard box. This'll be fun.

40,026 announced tickets distributed for tonight.

welp, not tied anymore. Chicago come right back down the pitch and halftime sub Mekvabishvili picks the ball up on a turnover out of the back from Hoyos... and scores. 1-2.

Chicago are through, Zinkernagel squares to Haile-Selassie and SOMEHOW he misses the empty net. Still tied.

After a halftime where it seemed like they were giving away the entire cost of a Designated Player on behalf of the Georgia Lottery... the second half is UNDERWAY in the Benz!

Most insane Atlanta United halftime giveaway of all time?? How do I get down there???

Halftime whistle goes, a lot of upset fans at the offside decision on Jacob. Level at the break though, one apiece after the early goal from Jacob and response from Chicago. 45 more minutes to break the deadlock.

Lewandowski at the other end is wiiiiiide open, chips Hoyos... wide, and the offside flag comes up at that end as well.

Tomas Jacob to EMBOLOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT THE OFFSIDE FLAG COMES UP. Miggy's pass ahead found Jacob juuuust offside, but a great cross and first time finish.

Four minutes of first half stoppage. Diaz with ANOTHER blocked shot.

Good vision from Amaro there to find Baez on the outside, some chaos in the 18 but Atlanta aren't able to capitalize, an offside flag goes up on Embolo.

Galoppo is bowled over in midfield, D'Avilla will see a yellow card as a result. Deep free kick for Atlanta is launched into the box, finds the head of Diaz... but wide.

Well, that’s one way to say it

Amaro does well to put in the final ball across to Embolo on the doorstep... SAVED point blank by Chris Brady who takes all the damage in an... unfortunate place. He's down for a while and the trainers will come out to help.

Not a shining example for the resume there in the past minute from Alexey Miranchuk.

Crucial block made by Paulo Diaz there as Chicago nearly had an eye for the second on the foot of Haile-Selassie's shot. We remain deadlocked as the Fire push to take the lead after their equalizer.

and there's the equalizer. Anton Saletros cleans up the corner, unmarked at the top of the box and fires it into the bottom corner. 1-1 at the half hour mark.

Nearly a chance for Atlanta to add another, Embolo plays a pass through for Galoppo that's just too far ahead, Miggy on the left side could've been the better option.
