Atlanta (4-7-5, 17 points) looked buried at the bottom of the conference just weeks ago, but consecutive wins — including a wild 3-2 comeback over Orlando City on Wednesday — have sparked new life. Trailing late, Bartosz Slisz tied the match in the 83rd minute before Jamal Thiare stunned Orlando with a stoppage-time winner.

The result followed a 4-2 win over FC Cincinnati last weekend, giving Atlanta back-to-back wins over teams with winning records. The offense has suddenly erupted, scoring seven goals over the last two matches — matching their total from the previous nine games combined.

“We kept believing… Being average is boring, so I want to see more personality, more togetherness, more energy,” said Atlanta coach Ronny Deila. “Take our fantastic fans with us.”

Choupo-Moting Ignites Red Bulls Revival

New York (7-6-3, 24 points) appears to have righted the ship after a rough May stretch. The Red Bulls defeated D.C. United and Charlotte FC in back-to-back matches — the latest being a 4-2 offensive showcase against Charlotte where Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting stole the spotlight.

The veteran striker scored twice to bring his season total to nine goals, providing a much-needed spark as the Red Bulls posted their first pair of consecutive wins in 2025.

“He’s a very good player and has a very good character,” said head coach Sandro Schwarz. “It’s very important that he continues to build his confidence and he is able to score.”
