It's important to understand how difficult it is to replicate the passion of soccer in the U.S. compared to Spain for instance. It's where Javier Perez grew up. Listen👇 The @atlutd17.bsky.social Dir. of Methodology w/ me later on SiriusXM FC 9pm ET on Ch. 188 & the SiriusXM app

NWSL Atlanta can do much, much worse than Vlatko Andonovski as a head coach, IMO

No show tonight and tomorrow due to the Labor Day weekend. We'll be back at it for the Orlando City game coming up on Wednesday!

Miguel Almiron on Breel Embolo and Mauricio Amaro: "They will help us a lot to improve, which is what we are looking for. I think they make it easy. Their adaptation has been easy, so they make it easy to play with them."

Miguel Almiron: "We can't ask anything more of the fans than what they're already giving us. I think it's us who's in debt with the fans, but we're treating every game like a final, so we did tonight and Wednesday will be another final for us."

It's over. An unreal result for Atlanta United as they get an equalizer from Breel Embolo from the spot and then somehow see out a 2-2 draw against Inter Miami. Things get heated afterwards but cooler heads appear to have prevailed. What a result. Orlando in town on Wednesday.

90+9': OH MY IT'S CLEARED OFF THE LINE! THEN BERTERAME MISSES! ATLANTA LET OFF AGAIN!

90+7': OH MY WORD HOW IS THAT NOT A GOAL? UNREAL SAVE AND TERRIFIC DEFENDING FROM ATLANTA!

90+5': Embolo feeling himself and didn't miss by much! That one had eyes.

EIGHT MINUTES LEFT in this one. Sheesh.

87': BREEL EMBOLO SCORES FROM THE SPOT! HIS FIRST MLS GOAL ON HIS DEBUT! IT'S 2-2!

85': ANOTHER PENALTY FOR ATLANTA! EMBOLO IS TAKEN DOWN IN THE BOX!

84': Yikes. That's poor from Embolo there. Substitution now as Muyumba comes off for Fafa. Looks as if Embolo may go all the way.

79': Amaro! Nearly a goal from the youngster on his MLS debut!

73': Save! Dayne St. Clair guesses the right way on Almiron's penalty and it remains 2-1.

72': PENALTY TO ATLANTA UNITED! Casemiro's boot finds the leg of Miggy in the box and Atlanta are sent to the spot!

70': That was close! Miranchuk's pass to Almiron is a good one but Miggy goes down and...is this a penalty? Jon Freemon taking a look!

Mauricio Amaro has looked quite fluid on the ball so far, to be honest.

66': Matt Edwards checking in now for Tomas Jacob.

58': Free kick for Atlanta in a dangerous spot on the pitch. Fricio Caicedo with the foul and he's the latest to get a yellow card.

56': It'll be Mauricio Amaro AND Steven Alzate coming in here. Sanchez and Reilly give way.

Uh-oh. Sanchez has sat down. He seemed in a little bit of pain moments ago after forcing that Atlanta corner kick. Looks as if he'll need to come out but hopefully it's not serious. Mauricio Amaro appears set to make his Atlanta debut.

Halftime: Inter Miami leads Atlanta United 2-1. Embolo saw some involvement in that first half but we'll see how long he goes. Amaro is waiting on the bench... the question is when he'll come on in the 2nd half.

45 +1': Miami back in front. Suarez gets behind the Atlanta defense and finishes off his chance. 2-1.

42': Baez and Sanchez both go down and Berterame gets a yellow card after the challenge.

40' - CLOSE CALL! Messi strikes the woodwork on the free kick.
