ATL UTD 2 defeated Huntsville City FC 2-1 on July 27 to earn their second road victory of the year. Huntsville had little chances during the game as Atlanta dominated the majority of it. But neither team would score again until the 47th minute, when rookie Rodrigo Neri scored his first ATL UTD 2 goal after receiving a pass from Tyler Wolff in the area and sending a left-footed shot over the goalkeeper of Huntsville and into the roof of the net.
Three minutes later, Neri headed the ball across the goal line to double the lead after meeting a cross that Matt Edwards had given to the back post. He did this by rising over his opponent.
