Atlanta United’s Burgos scores for Tampa

By
March 12, 2016

Junior Burgos gave a glimpse of why Atlanta United signed him as its first field player in a friendly against Notts County on Friday.

Burgos, a midfielder on loan at Tampa in the NASL, scored this goal against Notts County. It was a nice strike with his right foot across the goal and into the corner. Tampa won the game 3-2.

Burgos is a former Silverbacks player. He is one of two players that Atlanta United has signed along with goalkeeper Alexander Tambakis. He is on loan at Charleston (S.C.).

Atlanta United will begin play in MLS in 2017.
