3 thoughts on Atlanta United’s 1-1 draw with Minnesota

Despite failing to win the game on the scoreboard at full time, Atlanta United had plenty to be happy about after it’s 1-1 draw in Charleston against Minnesota United Wednesday evening. The Five Stripes put together their most cohesive and dominant performance of the preseason, peppering Minnesota’s goal with shots throughout. A few thoughts on the game and performance.

Atlanta’s starters looked vastly improved from only days ago

Despite failing to put a shot past Minnesota goalkeeper Matt Lampson in the first half, Atlanta looked as sharp as they have all preseason Wednesday night. Ezequiel Barco and Miguel Almiron partnered together well for the first time, encapsulated perfectly by Barco slipping a through ball to Almiron for a clear cut chance toward the end of the first half.
