Atlanta United striker Hector Villalba loved the tifo unveiled by Orlando City before Friday’s game.
The banner’s theme was The Walking Dead, a TV series filmed in metro Atlanta.
The image was Negan, a character on the show, trying to decide who among players Villalba, Josef Martinez, Miguel Almiron or Atlanta United’s supporter group Terminus Legion (represented by a person wearing a jersey with TL on the back), he is going to hit with infamous barbed-wire covered bat, nicknamed “Lucille.”
Villalba not only watches the show, but also liked that he and his teammates were on the white banner.
He said he didn’t really understand all the talk about Orlando City possibly being a rival of Atlanta United’s until he saw the banner.
Villalba got the last laugh by scoring the winning goal in the 86th minute.
