D.C. United rallied from a goal behind to beat Atlanta United 2-1 at RFK Stadium on Wednesday night.
Julian Gressel opened the scoring for Atlanta, getting on the end of a nice counter-attacking move that left him wide open in front of the D.C. net to tap home a perfectly squared Miguel Almiron assist.
But the hosts struck back in the 23rd minute when Alec Kann slipped while clearing the ball from his goalmouth and the ball went right to Luciano Acosta, who cut inside to his right foot and fired home.
Patrick Nyarko put the hosts in front after the break, settling a headed pass from Ian Harkes with his chest and blasting a volley past Kann.
