Atlanta Latinos – In the last home match of the season, Atlanta United finally showed how good it could be, defeating Toronto FC 3–1 Sunday evening at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta scored the first goal of the match in the 22nd minute. Miguel Almiron was credited with the goal, as his slight touch guided home the ball past the goalkeeper. Alexey Miranchuk earned the assist.

Atlanta added a second goal in the 40th minute. Cooper Sanchez scored the goal, the first in his MLS career. Almiron earned the assist with a precise pass.

Atlanta added its third goal early in the second half. Miranchuk was in the right place at the right time, rebounding Almiron’s long shot off the post and tapping it into the back of the net.

Toronto scored a late goal in the 79th minute. Lewis Morgan headed home the goal, his third goal of the season. But it was not nearly enough, as Atlanta held on for the 3–1 victory.

Atlanta’s season finale is away at New York Red Bulls on Saturday, November 7th.
