Frankie Amaya certainly made the most out of his first career MLS goal. FC Cincinnati’s 19-year-old midfielder netted the game-winner against Atlanta United and the long-distance screamer was also voted as the AT&T Goal of the Week for Round 2 of the MLS is Back Tournament.

I dropped the “Group of Death” cliché last night, so I’m going to refrain this time around as I dig through the smoldering embers of Monday night’s doubleheader. Besides, I think “Group of Drama” makes more sense here. Group F treated us to some wacky stuff down in gator country
