A red card late in the first half didn’t prevent Atlanta United from securing a result they’ll be extremely pleased to take into the second leg in Kennesaw next week in its Concacaf Champions League matchup with LD Alajuelense. Overall, the first match of the Gabriel Heinze era was a hugely encouraging performance.
Player Ratings
GK Brad Guzan 4: Wild night. Sent off in the 43rd minute, but it was only half his fault after being put in a do-or-die situation. His distribution wasn’t always perfect but he did nicely coming off his line to sweep up — until he didn’t.
