That frantic first half set the tone at North Paulding High School. SSA Swarm FC struck three times before the interval, but East Atlanta FC stayed within touching distance at 3-2. The score already hinted at a chaotic night, and the second half delivered more of the same.
After the restart, both teams added two more goals, leaving the match in the balance deep into the contest. SSA Swarm did just enough to protect their advantage and seal the result, while East Atlanta's four-goal return still was not enough to rescue anything from an open, aggressive game.
The final stats begin with the obvious number - nine total goals - and the highlights came from the relentless pace and repeated responses at both ends. For USL League Two, it was the kind of attacking contest that grabs attention quickly. It also extended SSA Swarm's recent upper hand in this matchup after their previous 3-1 away victory over East Atlanta earlier in the campaign.
