A tough result at home for Atlanta United as the MLS expansion club fell 3-1 to Eastern Conference opponents D.C. United. Once again ATL UTD opened the scoring for the seventh time in eight matches courtesy of Kenwyne Jones, but D.C. responded with three unanswered to earn their first road victory of the season.
Almost identical to Tata Martino’s lineup from last weekend, the Atlanta United starting XI included everyone except for Jeff Larentowicz, who was ruled out due to concussion protocol. Starters against D.C. United: Alec Kann (GK), Greg Garza (LB), Leandro González Pirez (CB), Michael Parkhurst (CB), Tyrone Mears (RB), Carlos Carmona (CM), Julian Gressel (CM), Miguel Almirón (CAM), Tito Villalba (RW), Yamil Asad (LW), and Kenwyne Jones (ST).
