Atlanta United 1-0 New England Revolution: Community Player Ratings

Atlanta United did just enough against the New England Revolution Saturday to advance past the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs with a 1-0 win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. And it was hilariously Franco Escobar, of all people, who reared his head once again in the playoffs after scoring key goals in last year’s playoff run including in the final.

Man of the Match: Brad Guzan

Wat.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, Guzan had a great game. I just... I thought it’d be Franco. Or Barco. Or Parkhurst. But hey, good job Brad!
