Recap: Atlanta United mercifully scores just twice in 2-0 win over Los Angeles Galaxy

Atlanta United earned a stellar 2-0 road win over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night despite being up well past their bed time on the east coast.

It looked like the Five Stripes would take the lead early when Miguel Almiron intercepted a pass and charged into the 18-yard-box to earn a penalty in the 16th minute. Josef elected to take it, stepped to the spot and…clanked it off the post.

However, Martinez would get his moments later. Almiron once again kick-started a counter attack with an excellent defensive play and bulldozed forward before smoking a shot off the crossbar.
