Wednesday was a rollercoaster night for Atlanta United fans in the MLS All-Star game, presented by Target. Miguel Almirón, Greg Garza and Michael Parkhurst represented the red, black and gold against Real Madrid in Atlanta’s first ever All-Star game. But Garza was the only one selected in the starting XI, slotting in at left back with Parkhurst and Almirón saved for the second half.
The highs and lows of the night started with the low. Less than three minutes into the game, Garza was slide tackled by Real Madrid midfielder Isco near the halfway line.
