Atlanta United’s 5-0 win over LAFC on Saturday was a blast to watch, whether you were one of the 45,000+ in attendance or watching at home. While the victory and three points are a fine prize for the team’s efforts, there was also three unique things that either happened in the match or were a result of the win. Here’s a look at what all was accomplished in that single match.
As a result of his second half goal, Josef has now found the net 24 times in his first 25 games in the league. In addition to that just being a ridiculous strike rate, he’s set the MLS record for most goals in league history through 25 appearances, surpassing Mamadou Diallo, Stern John and Carlos Ruiz.
