Summary

Joaquin Pereyra scored two goals and assisted another in Minnesota United's 3-1 victory over Atlante on August 11 at Allianz Field. This win ended a nine-game winless streak for Minnesota United, who had previously struggled in the Leagues Cup with a scoreless draw against UANL Tigres and a loss to Juarez. Atlante initially took the lead with a goal from Aaron Quiros in the 32nd minute. However, goals from Mauricio Gonzalez in the 59th minute and Pereyra's strikes in the 75th and 89th minutes secured the win. The result, while positive, came too late for MNUFC to advance in the tournament. They will next face Real Salt Lake in MLS play on Saturday night.
