Atlanta United secured three massive points in the hunt for the top seed in the Eastern Conference Sunday, overpowering a surging NYCFC side thanks to more historic goals from Josef Martinez.
Josef was the big pre-match news, recovering from an adductor injury in training this week to make Frank de Boer’s starting roster. The full XI: Brad Guzan (GK), Leandro González Pirez (DEF), Miles Robinson (DEF), Franco Escobar (DEF), Justin Meram (MID), Eric Remedi (MID), Darlington Nagbe (MID), Julian Gressel (MID), Ezequiel Barco (MID), Pity Martínez (FWD), Josef Martinez (FWD).
Atlanta United came out on fire and nearly had several goals in the first ten minutes.
