3 Atlanta United players honored by MLS

Atlanta United’s Ronald Hernandez and Jayden Hibbert were named to this week’s MLS Team of the Matchday, marking the first time this season the Five Stripes had two players selected.

Hibbert, a goalkeeper, posted his second consecutive shutout in a 1-0 win at Nashville. Hernandez scored the winning goal with a header from an assist by Steven Alzate, who made the Team of the Matchday bench. It was Hernandez’s first goal and Alzate’s first assist.
