Atlanta United did something on Saturday that they haven’t done in a while: win a game. The long wait is over as Atlanta defeated the Philadelphia Union 3-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium behind three Miguel Almiron assists.
Sydney, Tyler, and Jackson put a wrap on the day from the Benz as there was, naturally, plenty to be happy about after this performance. The big question is if the team can build on it as D.C. United pays a visit on March 21.
