Read EvaluationGuilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Atali was part of the Orlando City team that topped Group E with an undefeated campaign of two wins and a tie. A physically powerful and technically skilled attacking player, he was very active up top for the Lions, being one of their main offensive options. Capable of playing on the wing or centrally, Atali is very hard to stop when he gets going because he covers ground extremely well and is very direct with his runs. He’s an excellent finisher, too, and can work with his back to the goal, delivering solid holdup play up top.
