Atlanta United claims U.S. Open Cup title with win over Minnesota United

Atlanta United has another trophy to add to the club's ever-growing case.

Having claimed the MLS Cup title last season and followed up with a Campeones Cup crown earlier this month, the Five Stripes added a U.S. Open Cup trophy with a 2-1 win over Minnesota United on Tuesday.
