Atlanta United’s one-sided win
Atlanta United welcomed MLS’s newest club to the Eastern Conference on Saturday with a one-sided 5-0 win over LAFC. Despite only one goal by Julian Gressel in the first half, Atlanta really laid it on heavy in the second half with a staggering four goals in the second half. A goal by Josef Martinez in the 67th minute kept the offense rolling for Atlanta in the second half. Not one, but two penalty kick goals by Miguel Almiron in the 88th and 92nd minutes really sealed the deal.
