An incredible and historic night for Atlanta United as the expansion side defeated the Houston Dynamo in a 4-1 dominant performance. Powered by a hat trick from their number 10 Miguel Almirón, Atlanta cruised to their second victory at home this season in front of their fourth straight sellout crowd improving to a 4-4-3 record.
Tata Martino placed nearly an identical lineup on the field as his starting XI against Portland last week with the exception of Greg Garza who made his return to his left back position on Saturday to face Houston. The ATL UTD starting XI vs Houston Dynamo: Alec Kann (GK), Greg Garza (LB), Leandro González Pirez (CB), Michael Parkhurst (CB), Tyrone Mears (RB), Jeff Larentowicz (CM), Carlos Carmona (CM), Miguel Almirón (CAM), Julian Gressel (RW), Yamil Asad (LW), and Tito Villalba (ST).
