As it turns out, the fourth time was a charm for Atlanta United. Atlanta scored a goal in the first half and added two more in the second half during their 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Union.
For the first time in 2026, we have a win to talk about. On our weekly match reaction show, the guys dive into the big storylines from Saturday’s victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta’s first win since August of last year.
