On the frozen tundra of TCF Bank Stadium, Atlanta United overcame a first half red card to limp away from the Great White North with three points. It was a horrid match to watch that ended in a triumphant result. Delete the match from your DVR and never think about it again.
Man of the Match: Brad Guzan
Among the collective heroic defensive efforts it is Mr. Cleansheet himself that edged out the vote to earn our MOTM honors. The U.S. international made three saves in the valiant performance that helped secure the win for the Five Stripes. There were several worth candidates, but in the end, it’s the ‘keeper who gets the nod.
