Chalk another one up for the good guys! Atlanta United made the trip north to Montreal - geographically northeast of the other Canadian city where they inexplicably sent Franco Ibarra - and pulled out a hard-fought win in Stade Saputo. The Five Stripes hadn’t won there since 2018, and Montreal has generally been tough to beat at home this season.
That makes two wins in a row for Atlanta, and provides a bit of cushion as they were teetering precariously close to the playoff line. And the two wins weren’t against bottom tier teams; they handled Philadelphia Union at home 2-0, and then traveled (MLS team’s kryptonite) north of the border after a wildly clamorous week of transfers.
