Atlanta United defeated Charlotte FC in a convincing 3-0 win in their matchup at Bank of America Stadium. Gonzalo Pineda's team won the game in a mostly one-sided contest thanks to a double in the first half from Caleb Wiley on either side of a goal from Luiz Araujo.

As a result, the Five Stripes are currently in first place in the Eastern Conference of the MLS table, ahead of closest rivals Cincinnati and Nashville on goal difference.

Portland Timbers suffered a 2-1 home loss to St. Louis City when the clubs squared off at Providence Park, leaving Portland Timbers red-faced. Zac McGraw gave Giovanni Savarese's team an early lead, but they were only able to hang onto it until Jared Stroud's equaliser just before half-time. Kyle Hiebert then completed the comeback 15 minutes from time.
