ATLANTA (AP) - George Campbell and Ezequiel Barco scored to help Atlanta United beat Orlando City 3-0 on Friday night.

Atlanta (7-7-9) has won five of its last six games - starting with a four-match winning streak. Orlando (10-5-8) had its seven-game unbeaten streak end - the second-longest run in club history.

Campbell scored in the 25th by heading in Marcelino Moreno's lofted pass for his first MLS goal.

Atlanta went ahead 2-0 on Daryl Dike's own goal in the 38th when he deflected in Barco's free kick from the corner of the 18-yard box.

Barco raced past the defense for Brooks Lennon's long ball in the 72nd, and dribbled past three defenders along the 18-yard line to find a shooting lane at the back post.
