D.C. United came down to Georgia and took a punch in the mouth, but were able to respond admirably, to beat Atlanta United 3-1 for their first win on the road in 2017. Atlanta could have scored twice in the opening moments of the game, but eventually took the lead in the 9th minute through Kenwyne Jones.
In a similar fashion to last week though, the Black-and-Red were able to muster a response in the first half, and went into the break up 2-1 thanks to a Michael Parkhurst own goal and a strike from Luciano Acosta.
