Atlanta United FC are six games unbeaten in league play, after defeating the LA Galaxy 2-0 at StubHub Center on Saturday.
Atlanta had a strong opportunity to score, after Miguel Almiron drew a penalty from Daniel Steres in the 19th minute, but Josef Martinez's PK attempt clanged off the post. The Venezuelan found redemption a couple minutes later, turning in a bouncing ball that hit the woodwork moments earlier to open the scoring for the Five Stripes.
Both teams had chances from there, but the final chance was most definitive, as substitute Romario Williams drew a penalty and Almiron iced the win with the spot kick.
