Thiago Almada scored a stunning free kick as he finished the match with two goals and two assists for Atlanta United and an MLS record.
Almada is a World Cup winner with the Argentina national team and at only 21, has an MLS record to his name. The Argentine is the first player in MLS history with at least four goals and four assists in his club’s first four games of the season.
With Atlanta United leading 1-0 through a Thiago Almada assist, they were awarded a free kick and it was Almada who took it. A world class strike by the World Cup winner as he would score to give Atlanta United the 2-0 lead.
He would have a second assist on Atlanta United’s fourth goal of the match in the second half. At 4-1, he would receive the ball inside the penalty area, spin and his effort would find the back of the goal.
