Atlanta United put together one of its most complete performances of the season in a 1-0 win over FC Dallas Wednesday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta held FC Dallas to a season-low one shot on target and Jeff Larentowicz converted a second-half penalty to secure all three points, snapping FC Dallas’ three-game winning streak.
Featuring a new look in the attack with Jon Gallagher leading the line, Atlanta created numerous chances in the first half and ultimately attempted six shots, four of which were inside the box. One of Atlanta’s best chances in the first half came in the 28th minute when Gallagher and Jake Mulraney combined to force Jimmy Maurer into a save off a quick counterattack.
