It's only Week One, but we can still take a lesson or two from the opening weekend of MLS 2017.
1. It's hard being an Expansion team, especially in the 82nd minute
The two newest clubs in MLS - the Uniteds of Atlanta and Minnesota - had broadly similar experiences in their first games in the league: everything was going more or less OK until the 82nd minute.
For Minnesota, Christian Ramirez scored in the 79th minute against Portland, trimming the Timbers' lead to 2-1 and setting up a late bid for at least a point for the visiting United.
