And 5-1 is where Atlanta United's stellar night concluded, more than doubling the score from the last time these two teams faced off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The 5-Stripes have outscored their opponents 8-1 in the past two games and scored 5+ goals in an MLS match for the first time since July 17, 2019. Atlanta United remain unbeaten on the season and continues the best start in club history.
Thiago Almada's incredible free kick goal, as well as Giorgos Giakoumakis' starting debut stood out on an amazing night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Atlanta United joined Major League Soccer in 2017 and won the 2018 MLS Cup in just its second season, the earliest an expansion team has won the title since 1998. The club has set multiple league records including season tickets sales (36,000-plus), single-season average (53,002) and total home attendance (901,033). Owned by Arthur M. Blank, Atlanta United plays its home matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For more information about Atlanta United, including how to purchase season tickets, visit: www.atlutd.com.
