Yet another historic day for soccer in Atlanta as the Five Stripes equaled the all-time MLS points record with a 2-1 win over the Chicago Fire in front more than 70,000 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday.
With Miguel Almirón and Tito Villalba ruled out of the match through injury, Atlanta United came into a crucial match a little short-handed in their league-best attack. But with an arsenal of players at his disposal, Tata Martino shuffled the pack to put out a strong lineup nonetheless: Brad Guzan (GK), Chris McCann (DEF), Leandro González Pirez (DEF), Michael Parkhurst (DEF), Franco Escobar (DEF), Eric Remedi (MID), Julian Gressel (MID), Darlington Nagbe (MID), Andrew Carleton (FWD), Ezequiel Barco (FWD), Josef Martinez (FWD).
