MLS champion Atlanta United won its first home game of the season to ease pressure on Frank de Boer, while Sporting Kansas City and New England Revolution drew 4-4 on Saturday.
Atlanta overcame fellow strugglers and winless Colorado Rapids 1-0 courtesy of Julian Gressel at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Struggling for form since former Inter and Crystal Palace boss De Boer replaced Gerardo "Tata" Martino at the start of the season, Atlanta finally gave its fans something to celebrate on home soil following two draws and a loss.
