Atlanta United: More than just an MLS Cup
After two seasons of dominating MLS, Atlanta United put the star on top with their first-ever MLS Cup. But this championship is about much more than just an MLS Cup.
After two seasons of dominating Major League Soccer for both seasons of their existence, Atlanta United capped off a historic run when they defeated the Portland Timbers 2-0 in front of yet another record-setting crowd of approximately 73,000 fans in Mercedes Benz Stadium to win MLS Cup.
The win itself will go into the history books as the club’s first-ever MLS Cup in what looks to be a dynasty in the making. But the silverware is only the tip of what this club has been able to do.
