Atlanta United 3-2 DC United: Rate and React

Final Whistle Thoughts

In what was a massive game when it comes to teams jockeying for MLS Cup playoff position in the Eastern Conference, Atlanta United once again found themselves on top after 90 minutes against DC United. Interestingly, despite the game’s importance, Gonzalo Pineda decided to take the physical load off of Luiz Araujo by using him as an impact sub (and he certainly did that).

The win cements Atlanta as playoff contenders, but the performance just reinforces for all of us the fact that the team is firmly back to its old dominant, attacking self.
