Atlanta United is running rampant at this point. Since their 4-0 opening day loss, the Five Stripes are unbeaten in eight straight matches with seven wins.

Atlanta has a Wednesday night home match against Western conference leading Sporting Kansas City and a road rivalry match against Orlando City SC.
But before those matches take place, let’s see what we learned from this weekend’s road win.
