ATLANTA (AP) — Miguel Almiron and Alexey Miranchuk each had a goal and an assist, Cooper Sanchez also scored, and Atlanta United beat Toronto FC 3-1 on Sunday.
Atlanta (9-18-6) ended a six-game winless run at home.
Toronto (9-12-12), which had earned points in four of its last five Major League Soccer matches, was eliminated from playoff contention for the sixth straight season.
Almiron opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. He played a give-and-go with Miranchuk before poking it through the legs of goalkeeper Luka Gavran. It was Almiron’s seventh goal of the season and Miranchuk’s eighth assist.
