Atlanta United got back to winning ways on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Charlotte FC in what was a normal game between two geographically-close teams, which does not make a rivalry, in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Josef Martinez and Jake Mulraney provided the goals that made the difference.
Gonzalo Pineda welcomed multiple players back into the fray, including Ozzie Alonso, who missed out last week against Colorado due to potential heart issues. Santiago Sosa also made the bench for the first time this season as he has been working to recover from a sports hernia surgery at the end of last season.
