Mulraney was issued a straight red card in the 74th minute of the MLS fixture as a result of a tackle on Randall Leal, with the referee’s verdict backed up by VAR.
However, after an appeal by Atlanta United, an Independent Review Panel has “unanimously rescinded” the sending-off of the Irish winger.
Mulraney is now eligible to play against New England Revolution on Saturday, when Gabriel Heinze’s side will aim to end a run of seven games without a win.
