Atlanta United drops three points last place DC United, fails to move into playoff position

Atlanta United fell 1-2 to DC United in a limited capacity and socially distanced Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday evening.

Atlanta United now finds itself at 12th in the East, two spots below the playoff line, with 19 points from 20 games.
