Atlanta United earns second consecutive clean sheet after 1-0 victory against CF Montreal

Atlanta United earned a second-consecutive clean sheet and its second road win of the season after a 1-0 win at CF Montreal.

The win lifts the Five Stripes to 5th place in the Eastern Conference with a 9-8-5 record in 22 games played.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Gonzalo Pineda opted to run out the same 3-4-2-1 formation that led to the 2-0 victory over visiting Philadelphia Union last week. With Franco Ibarra leaving on a loan to Toronto FC, Santiago Sosa slotted in at the six and Tyler Wolff replaced Machop Chol as an inside forward alongside Thiago Almada.
