Atlanta United vs. LAFC, updates: Gressel’s magic gives Atlanta two-goal lead

68’ - It’s 2-0 to Atlanta! Again it’s Julian Gressel who makes it happen with a brilliant run down the right flank. His perfect cross floated over the defender and goalkeeper to Josef Martinez to finish at the back post.

Halftime - An eventful first half comes to an end with Gressel’s lone goal holding up. LAFC have enjoyed the majority of possession but haven’t really threatened Brad Guzan’s goal. LAFC could’ve had a man sent off after Laurent Ciman seemingly elbowed Josef Martinez in the head, but VAR was not utilized on the play.
