There was a lot of hype leading up to this match. After a huge win on Saturday, Atlanta United now have four straight wins. This match was a roller coaster ride at the start. A straight red was given to Atlanta’s Chris McCann within the first minute, only to be overturned after a video review. Julian Gressel broke through for his first goal of the season in the 17th minute, but after that LAFC locked things down until after an hour passed.
Josef Martinez headed another goal home in the 67th minute, and by the end of the match, Atlanta found a way to score five goals on the night.
