Atlanta United overcame Philadelphia Union 3–1 in an MLS encounter where the hosts' clinical finishing proved decisive despite the visitors' superior shot volume. Philadelphia dominated territorially with 14 attempts to Atlanta's 10, and held a marginal expected goals advantage at 2.24 to 2.02, yet Atlanta's 4 shots on target converted at a significantly higher rate than Philadelphia's 3. The Union's goalkeeper made saves at 66.67 per cent, conceding 1.07 post-shot expected goals above what their underlying metrics suggested, indicating difficult individual efforts rather than systematic defensive breakdown. Atlanta's 4–3–3 shape contained Philadelphia's 4–4–2 effectively, with Aleksey Miranchuk, Tomas Jacob and Emmanuel Latte Lath each finding the net. Referee Marcos de Oliveira maintained control throughout. The result underscores Atlanta's improving clinical edge in front of goal.
