All three goals came in a scintillating nine-minute stretch just before halftime, leaving the fans in awe. This explosive performance was enough for the Union to secure a 3-2 victory, breaking their streak of consecutive draws at five matches and propelling them into the third spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Edwin Mosquera added to the excitement with a well-timed strike in the 77th minute.

This defeat ended their unbeaten run at four matches, leaving them in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. The pivotal moment came when Daniel Gazdag, displaying incredible ingenuity, executed a jaw-dropping overhead kick from 12 yards out, leaving Brad Guzan with no chance to stop it. Julian Carranza and Mikkel Uhre continued the onslaught, sealing the Union's victory with their brilliant goals. Although Carranza inadvertently helped Atlanta get back into the game with a penalty awarded via video review, the Union held on for a thrilling 3-2 win. Edwin Mosquera's late goal added an extra layer of excitement to a match that will be remembered for its dramatic twists and dazzling displays of skill.
