Rounding up Atlanta United’s loanees

By
April 17, 2016

Atlanta United loanees Alex Tambakis and Junior Burgos were back in action for their teams on Saturday.

Tambakis had his first rough outing in goal in four games for Charleston in the USL. The Battery were defeated 3-2 at Charlotte. The first two goals against Tambakis came on a penalty kick, a punch-in off a rebound that hit the crossbar in the first half. The third goal came on a mistake by a defender, according to the Battery's website. Charleston will play at Bethlehem Steel on Saturday. Tambakis has a save percentage of .750 this season with four goals allowed and 12 saves.

After making two consecutive starts, Burgos, a midfielder, didn’t get off the bench in Tampa Bay’s 1-0 win over Edmonton in NASL action.
