Atlanta United won their fourth-straight match on Sunday afternoon over “rival” Orlando City —We can’t officially call it a rivalry yet, since Orlando have yet to actually beat Atlanta in seven tries. Despite the low final score, both teams had their chances to run away with this game. In the end, a beautiful Gonzalo Martinez strike, his first in MLS, made the difference.
Atlanta now sit fifth in the Eastern Conference with 17 points, third based on points per game with 1.7. Orlando City fall to tenth in the conference with just 10 points.
