The award comes in spite of losing the game 2-1 thanks to two second half goals from Pittsburgh, but the goalkeeper, who holds the distinction of being Atlanta United’s first signing, had himself a good night, making a number of quality saves. The fact that he was on the losing side shows just how fickle the goalkeeping position can be.
