It was the late show at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as Atlanta United managed to grab all three points in a nervy 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire.
The win brings the Five Stripes’ point total to 18 in nine games and a 5-3-1 record, leaving them in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference two points behind New England Revolution and FC Cincinnati.
Many questions surrounded Atlanta United’s starting lineup with Thiago Almada, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Franco Ibarra all listed as questionable on the team’s availability report from Saturday. To the relief of Five Stripe fans, all three made the matchday squad with Almada and Giakoumakis even making the starting XI.
