Tristan Muyumba scores for 3rd straight game to help Atlanta United beat
Minnesota United 2-1
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Tristan Muyumba scored a goal for the third straight
game and Atlanta United beat Minnesota United 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Atlanta (5-12-3) has won back-to-back games following a seven-match winless run.
Minnesota (6-7-7) is winless in nine straight games.
Toms Jacob opened the scoring for Atlanta in the 37th minute with his second
career MLS goal. Jacob was wide open on the right side after a failed
clearance, and he settled a deflected shot to send it inside the post.
Muyumba scored the go-ahead goal in the 78th on a counterattack to become the
ninth player in club history to score in three straight games.
Minnesota defender Anthony Markanich tied it a 1-all in the 58th. Morris Duggan
redirected a cross off the crossbar and Markanich headed it home at the back
post.
