Raimar scored his fourth goal of the season in a 2-1 loss to New York Red Bulls II on Tuesday.
Luke Brennan was subbed on in the 59th minute against New York and immediately made the Atlanta attack more dangerous.
In his 31 minutes of play, the 17-year-old won eight of his 10 duels and went on a run that forced Red Bulls II to bring him down, reducing the hosts to 10 men.
The forward laid off a pass for Raimar to poke into the back of the net, earning the Academy player his first professional assist.
Miami FC currently sits in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, holding the last playoff seed available.
Miami possesses one of the strongest defenses in the USL Championship, recording 11 clean sheets.
