ATLANTA—Hector Villalba and Julian Gressel scored in Atlanta United’s third victory in a row, 2-0 over Toronto FC in a matchup of the last two MLS Cup champions on Wednesday night.
After a sluggish start under new coach Frank de Boer, United suddenly looks like the team that won the league championship last year in just its second season. Atlanta dominated the stat sheet, piling up a 19-8 advantage in shots, knocking two attempts off the post and preventing Toronto from putting any balls on net before a crowd of 42,537 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
