Last week’s opening weekend for Major League Soccer was exciting for every team, but perhaps none were more excited that the two newest teams in the league: Minnesota United FC and Atlanta United FC.

Atlanta took the early lead in their matchup against the New York Red Bulls only to see the victory swing the other way in the final minutes as two late goals led to the 2-1 defeat.
When these two teams meet each other this week, both in search of a bounce back, here is what you can expect to watch go down:
