Atlanta United has shown dynamism, defensive steel and attacking flair in their unbeaten streak and they showed their resiliency Saturday, coming back from a goal down with a thrilling 4-1 win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the Montreal Impact.
Tata Martino kept up his 3-5-2 formation that has proven so effective over the past two months, with the same starting lineup that faced the LA Galaxy last weekend. The major news was the return of Tito Villalba, who was healthy enough to make the bench after his injury absence. The full XI: Brad Guzan (GK), Chris McCann (LCB), Michael Parkhurst (CB), Leandro González Pirez (RCB), Greg Garza (LWB), Jeff Larentowicz (CDM), Darlington Nagbe (CM), Julian Gressel (RWB), Miguel Almirón (CAM), Ezequiel Barco (CF), Josef Martinez (ST).
