Apr 19, 2025; Chester, Pennsylvania, USA; Atlanta United forward Emmanuel Latte Lath (19) jumps for a header against the Philadelphia Union in the first half at Subaru Park. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Two teams looking to put losing streaks to bed will square off in a mid-week match on Wednesday night when Austin FC hosts Atlanta United.
Austin (5-6-1, 16 points) has dropped three straight entering play and has mustered just one goal over the winless stretch. Last time out, the club fell 2-1 at Cincinnati FC.
Under first-year head coach Nico Estevez, Austin has struggled mightily on the offensive end, as the team has totaled only eight goals on the season and is tied with the LA Galaxy for second fewest in MLS. CF Montreal has scored six goals.
“I’ve told everyone from the beginning, we’re still in the process of learning how we can be the best team possible,” Estevez said. “We still have to keep growing on that and find the right ways to do things. … I think right now is a really good time to embrace what’s happening to us and take this as a challenge and see how we can get stronger from here.”
Brandon Vasquez’s penalty goal for Austin in the loss was the team’s first since a 1-0 home win over the Galaxy on April 19. Vasquez, who has three goals on the year, is the only Austin player with more than one score.
Atlanta (2-6-4, 10 points) is searching for its first victory since a 4-3 home win over New York City FC on March 29. Atlanta United hasn’t won away from home this season (0-4-1), and they saw that trend prolonged in a 2-1 road defeat against the Chicago Fire on Saturday.
Trailing by a goal in the 80th minute, Atlanta’s Sam Rogers scored an own goal to knot the score. Rominigue Kouame’s go-ahead score six minutes later, however, sent Atlanta to its fourth loss in five tries.
Atlanta head coach Ronny Deila knows his team has to snap out of its lackluster stretch — and maybe some tough love is needed.
“There’s a line between being demanding and also loving,” Deila said. “I think those two things are difficult in these kinds of periods. It’s next that’s most important. What is done is done.”
Emmanuel Latte Lath leads Atlanta with five goals, followed by Miguel Almiron’s three.

Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi placed in coma after slamming into post in draw with Leicester
Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi was placed in a medically induced coma after undergoing an abdominal surgery following an incident where he collided with the goalpost during the team’s 2-2 draw with Leicester on Sunday, according to the BBC.The 27-year-old slammed into the post in the 88th minute of the match at the City Ground on Sunday while trying to make a play on a cross. Awoniyi and Leicester’s Facundo Buonanotte collided with the post — Awoniyi’s stomach drilled the post directly — but they both made it back up to their feet.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhile Awoniyi and Buonanotte finished out the match, Awoniyi later doubled over in pain and struggled to move in the final minutes. It actually appeared to spark a heated confrontation between owner Evangelos Marinakis and manager Nuno Espirito Santo on the field, too, though Forest has tried to dismiss […]
NHL Playoffs 2025: Mikael Granlund paces Stars with hat trick vs. Jets, headlines 3 Stars of the Night
Getty Images The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs certainly hasn't been short on drama, and that continued to be the case on Tuesday.In the night's lone playoff game, the Dallas Stars were able to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 in Game 4 and take a 3-1 series lead in the process. Forward Mikael Granlund registered the first hat trick of his playoff career, while goaltender Jake Oettinger proved to be a brick wall between the pipes.With another night in the rearview mirror, let's take a closer look at some of the spectacular performances that resulted from Tuesday's contest. The Jets were extremely aggressive offensively throughout Game 4, but ended up not having a ton to show for it on the scoreboard. One of the positives for Winnipeg was the play of star winger Nikolaj Ehlers, who scored the […]
Diniz aponta problema ‘anímico’ como um dos erros do Vasco, após derrota na Sul-Americana
A estreia de Fernando Diniz no comando do time do Vasco da Gama nesta terça-feira, não ocorreu como o esperado para o treinador. A equipe perdeu o quarto jogo seguido, dessa vez para o Lanús, pela Sul-Americana, em Buenos Aires, por 1 a 0. Com apenas um treino antes do jogo, o treinador apontou que a questão do ânimo da equipe em campo foi um dos problemas para o nono jogo sem vitória do cruzmaltino. — O jogo se apresentava para ser mais vertical e a gente trocava os passes mais lateralizados. No segundo tempo eu achei que a gente foi mal. Quando a gente toma um gol, perde um pouco de confiança e começa a vir um histórico recente. O time deu uma sentida — disse o treinador, na coletiva. E continuou: — Por conta do primeiro tempo e […]
How Kodai Senga learned to distill more data into a better scouting report
NEW YORK — It was another crucial moment in a game full of them for Kodai Senga. The Pirates had a runner on third, again. And after Senga fell behind Bryan Reynolds with a first-pitch fastball, he leaned on his trademark forkball as much as ever.One forkball to fall behind 2-0. A second for a swinging strike, a third for another swing-and-miss. A fourth for a foul ball, a fifth to push the count full. And finally, a sixth straight forkball to finally get Reynolds to fly innocently to right to end the inning and the threat.AdvertisementSenga had never relied as much on his forkball as he did in the New York Mets’ 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. He threw it a career-high 40 times, generating a dozen swinging strikes. When the Pirates put men in scoring position, […]
