Joaquin Pereyra can sing his own "Redemption Song."
The Minnesota United midfielder failed on two penalty kicks in a draw with UANL Tigres on Friday, but the Argentine totaled two goals and an ****** ist in a 3-1 win over Atlante in the third and final Leagues Cup match Tuesday at Allianz Field.
With the standout performance from Pereyra, the Loons ended a nine-game winless skid in all competitions. It's also the first time in eight games Minnesota has scored multiple goals.
Atlante took a 1-0 lead with a goal from Aaron Quiros in the 32nd minute. Loons defenders allowed it to happen: DJ Taylor gave up a run in behind, Julian Gressel failed to clear a pass, and Devin Padelford was the victim of a bad deflection into the back of the net.
The St. Paul stadium was mostly empty and was lifeless after the opening goal.
