ATLANTA, GA–Ladies and Gentlemen, Atlanta United are back. The Five Stripes got their seventh win in eight and third on the bounce with a 3-2 win over DC United on Saturday. Ezequiel Barco continues to impress post-Olympics with a goal in the 18th minute. Josef Martinez made it 2-0 in the 64th minute. Felipe pulled one back for DC in the 75th minute, but George Bello effectively put matters away in the 87th minute leaving a consolation goal for Edison Flores.
Atlanta are now just two points adrift of fourth-place Orlando for a home playoff game in the East. DC remain in the playoff place in sixth ahead of Montreal on wins coming into Sunday, but just two points clear of the chasing pack below the playoff line.
