Atlanta United emerged victorious on Wednesday night in their visit to Inter Miami, snapping a string of winless matches and halting their opponent's impressive streak. The final score was 3-1 in Atlanta's favor.
The win marked the end of a nine-game winless run for Atlanta in MLS. Additionally, it snapped Inter Miami's ten-game winning streak. A standout performance by Saba Lobjanidze, who netted a brace, earned him recognition as both MLS Team of the Matchday and MLS Player of the Matchday.
Another key contributor was Atlanta's Jamal Thiaré, who secured a historic goal in the 73rd minute. This goal marked Atlanta United's 400th in MLS Regular Season history, joining the achievements of legendary scorers like Josef Martínez and Tito Villalba.
