ATL UTD keeps up red-hot form with clean sheet win over Galaxy

Atlanta United’s red-hot form continued Saturday as the Five Stripes shut out Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Galaxy with a 2-0 win on the road to stretch their unbeaten run to six matches.

Head Coach Tata Martino used much of the same lineup from last weekend’s matchup, with one major change: Ezequiel Barco started in place of Kevin Kratz for his first ever MLS start. The Argentine starting up top and pushing Almirón back into midfield, adding another potent weapon to the red, black and gold attack from the start. The full XI: Brad Guzan (GK), Chris McCann (LCB), Michael Parkhurst (CB), Leandro González Pirez (RCB), Greg Garza (LWB), Jeff Larentowicz (CDM), Darlington Nagbe (CM), Julian Gressel (RWB), Miguel Almirón (CAM), Ezequiel Barco (ST), Josef Martinez (ST).
