D.C. United 1, Atlanta United 0: Man of the match

My choice for the man of the match for Atlanta United from its 1-0 loss at D.C. United on Wednesday at RFK Stadium:

BRAD GUZAN

Goalkeeper

Why? He finished with six saves and couldn't receive any blame for the lone goal.

What he said: "You tell me where we are at in the table, and that's where we are at. There's a lot of games to be played. The month of September is big month for us. We know that. But we aren't worried about that month. We are worried about the month of August. We are worried now about the game on Saturday in Philadelphia. We want to put ourselves in position to get three points on Saturday. We do that and we get a little bit of a break and we go back home. September is huge for us."
