Atlanta United break MLS consecutive shutout wins record

Atlanta United are going in the record books ... again. 

With their 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Five Stripes now have shutout victories in five consecutive matches, a new MLS record. They broke a tie previously held by eight other teams in league history.

Josef Martinez's penalty proved the difference and Atlanta's rotated backline — without Michael Parkhurst and Miles Robinson — kept another clean sheet. 

Atlanta will look to extend their record on Sunday against the New York Red Bulls (5 pm ET | FS1 — Full TV & streaming info).
