Atlanta United 2 – Minnesota United FC 1

Atlanta United hosted Minnesota United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the final of the 2019 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in a Tuesday night match in front tournament final record crowd of 35,709 fans. Atlanta scored twice in the first half from an own-goal and the game-winner from Pity Martinez.

This is the third major trophy in club history, and the second this season. With the win, Atlanta now qualifies for the 2020 Concacaf Champions League for the second straight season.

Atlanta United Head Coach Frank de Boer said after the win, “It is always nice to win trophies. I think that is why you start playing soccer, because you love it, but also because you want to win, and today, we achieved something very beautiful for the club and for the players. Of course, we have a short history as Atlanta United FC, but to win the US Open Cup in our third year is a fantastic achievement and compliments everybody who made this possible.”
