There’s nothing like a record-breaking day at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the Atlanta United faithful were treated to yet another historic day Saturday as the Five Stripes came back for a commanding 3-1 win over D.C. United Saturday.
The headlines before the match were all about the homegrown hero, Andrew Carleton, making his first MLS start on the left wing in the only change in Tata Martino’s lineup from last weekend. The full XI: Brad Guzan (GK), Chris McCann (LB), Leandro González Pirez (CB), Michael Parkhurst (CB), Franco Escobar (RB), Jeff Larentowicz (CM), Julian Gressel (CM), Andrew Carleton (LW), Miguel Almirón (CAM), Tito Villalba (RW), Josef Martinez (ST).
