Atlanta United 1-2 FC Dallas: Community player ratings

If you couldn’t tell, I posted this in a rush. My bad. I think I had Ezequiel Barco in this poll twice and the headlines on social media were incorrect.

Mistakes were made.

At the final whistle of Atlanta United’s 2-1 loss to FC Dallas at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, I don’t think it was any of our finest moments. Let’s all agree to put it behind us and move on.

Man of the Match: Ezequiel Barco

It’s quite clear at this point that Atlanta United’s attack runs through Barco, and the Argentine didn’t disappoint Saturday afternoon. He was an everpresent danger for FC Dallas, as evidence by the five fouls he drew in shooting positions around the box. After an MLS Player of the Week award last week for Barco, he nearly got himself on the scoresheet again, hitting the bar twice.
