The man of the match for Atlanta United after Saturday’s game against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium:

MIGUEL ALMIRON

Midfielder

Why: Though he was credited with just one assist, coming on Yamil Asad's goal, it was his pass that led to Hector Villalba's goal that opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and his pass to Julian Gressel, whose pass led to Brandon Vazquez's goal in the 96th minute.
