PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) --- Alexey Miranchuk scored in the first half and Lucas
Hoyos made it stand up for Atlanta United in a 1-0 victory over the Portland
Timbers on Saturday night.
Miranchuk used assists from Miguel Almirn and Jnior Alonso to score his sixth
goal this season and give Atlanta United (7-14-5) the lead in the 28th minute.
Miranchuk finished with six goals in 33 appearances last year in his first full
season in the league.
Hoyos had three saves for Atlanta United, now 4-2-2 in its last eight matches.
It was the 37-year-old's third shutout in his first 26 starts after joining the
club in the offseason.
James Pantemis stopped two shots for Portland (9-12-5), which is clinging to
the ninth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The Timbers have lost two straight and scored four goals in three matches since
beating Minnesota United 5-4 at home to start the month.
Portland drops to 7-4-3 at home, while Atlanta United improves to 3-7-4 on the
road.
