Atlanta United 2, Toronto 2: Man of the match

My choice for Atlanta United's man of the match from Sunday's 2-2 draw against Toronto at Mercedes-Benz Stadium:

BRAD GUZAN

Goalkeeper

Why? He made three saves to keep Atlanta United in the game in the first half. There was nothing he could to stop Sebastian Giovinco’s free kick to tie the game at 2 in the second half.

“It’s a whole new mini-season for us,” he said. “The playoffs are a completely different beast. Games are tighter. Games are a lot closer. The regular season goes out the window. Everyone’s back at scratch and we will be ready come that first playoff game.”
