Centerhalf: Michael Parkhurst (captain), 6. Playing in shortsleeves (?!?!?), he threw himself on the ground many times to block shots.

Fullback: Greg Garza, 6. A solid, albeit quiet, game for the left fullback. Each of Atlanta United's goals happened so quickly neither fullback had a chance to get involved. He got into action with a nice chip to Jacob Peterson for the final goal.

Midfielder: Jeff Larentowicz, 5. His poor tackle in the first half resulted in a penalty kick and Minnesota United's first goal.

Midfielder: Julian Gressel, 6. His pass to Almiron on the second goal split Minnesota United's midfielders and defenders. Otherwise, a solid game for the rookie.

Midfielder: Hector Villalba, 6. More effective in this game than the previous. He notched his first assist on Martinez's third goal.

Midfielder: Miguel Almiron, 8. He was all over the field, scoring two goals and creating numerous chances.

Midfielder: Yamil Asad, 6. Had an assist and did the work necessary on the left side.

Striker: Josef Martinez, 9. His first hat trick and the first in team history.
