Atlanta United 2-3 Minnesota United: Community Player Ratings

Well, that’s not exactly how any of us saw the first loss at Mercedes-Benz Stadium coming. Atlanta United fell behind Minnesota United, both on the scoreboard and on personnel, but fought back to equalize and take the lead. Unfortunately, the joy didn’t last long as the tired and out-manned United defense couldn’t make it last and defeat was tasted for the first time in the new stadium.

Man of the Match: Tito Villalba

There were two deserving candidates, but in the end, Tito Villalba edges out Julian Gressel by a mere six one-hundredths of a percentage point. Both attackers were outstanding on the night, both working tirelessly and selflessly. Both found the back of the net in great style too. Even in a losing cause, both are deserving of recognition for their great showings.
