    Atlanta United

    Atlanta United midfielder Thiago Almada was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Matchday for the first matchday of the 2023 MLS season.

    Almada scored both the game-tying and game-winning goal in stoppage time as part of the club’s 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, Feb. 25. Almada became the fourth player in MLS history to score both a game-tying and game-winning goal in the 90th minute or later, and the first to accomplish the feat since Real Salt Lake’s Albert Rusnák in 2018 (August 18 vs. Houston Dynamo FC). His game-winning direct free kick goal in the 99th minute was the latest game-winner in Atlanta United history and also the latest game-winning direct free kick score in MLS since 2003.

    Atlanta United returns to action when it hosts Toronto FC on March 4 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    Austin FC

    Austin FC announced that defender Julio Cascante had been diagnosed with a severe left adductor strain sustained in the team’s season-opening match against St. Louis CITY SC. The injury will not require a surgical operation.

    Charlotte FC

    Brazilian Striker Andre Shinyashiki didn’t hide his frustration during an interview with TMLS reporter Gustavo Lopes after the Crown dropped a game at home to the Revolution by the score of 0-1. The forward played only 14 minutes in the contest but told Gustavo the team needed to be more thoughtful while possessing the ball, clearing it out of danger instead of going for style play.
