FC Cincinnati 0-2 Atlanta United: Community Player Ratings

After a disappointing loss over the weekend to the Columbus Crew, Atlanta United got back on track in a midweek road trip to Cincinnati with a 2-0 win over the MLS newcomers. The home side sat deep and built a wall around its own goal that held up well and kept the teams level at halftime. But in the second half, Atlanta’s quality shone through, particularly from the Man of the Match...

Man of the Match: Josef Martinez

Wednesday night was a special night for Atlanta’s talisman and prolific Venezuelan goalscorer. Not only did he register his 19th multi-goal game of his MLS career, he did so in style with two superb finishes, one of which landed him the No. 1 spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays. You know what? Let’s all watch it again.

Okay, now onto the player ratings:
