Watch: Martinez, Almiron inflict quick 1-2 gut punch on Minnesota United
Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
A little bit of snow isn't going to stop Atlanta United.
The visiting side took just three minutes to find the back of the net at snow-covered TCF Bank Stadium - at the expense of home debutant Minnesota United. Josef Martinez slipped through the Loons' back four and slotted the orange ball coolly into the far corner with a right-footed shot.
Miguel Almiron crafted the chance (which had more than a hint of offside), then scored one of his own 10 minutes later, beating goalkeeper John Alvbage with a near-side shot to the roof of the net.
The two goals mark each player's first in MLS.
