ATLANTA (August 20, 2023) — Atlanta United defeated Seattle Sounders FC 2-0 in its return to MLS Regular Season action on Sunday night. Giorgos Giakoumakis scored both goals on headers and increased his season total to 12, one off the league’s Golden Boot lead. Additionally, two of Atlanta’s summer signings, Xande Silva and Tristan Muyumba, made their MLS debuts and helped move the club within two points of third place in the Eastern Conference.
“Today we showed that we can do it. There were moments that were better, there were moments where we lost control in the final minutes of the first half. First 20-30 minutes of second half, they were on top of us. said Atlanta United Head Coach Gonzalo Pineda. “We couldn’t connect the passes like we do, so we can correct that. But overall, it was a good performance and a well deserved three points.”
Atlanta United (10-7-8, 38 points points) returns to Mercedes-Benz Stadium next week when they host Nashville SC on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m.
