Atlanta United 2 played to a 1-1 draw with Bethlehem Steel FC Sunday night at Talen Energy Stadium. Laurence Wyke scored his first professional goal while team captain Jack Metcalf registered his first assist of the year.
Atlanta opened the scoring in the 11th minute from a corner kick. Metcalf delivered an in-swinging ball to the near post where Wyke headed it across the goal into the top-right corner.
ATL UTD 2 nearly doubled its lead when Yosef Samuel drew a penalty in the 55th minute. Samuel stepped to the penalty spot in the 57th minute, however his shot struck the left post, bounced off Bethlehem goalkeeper Tomás Romero’s back and was ultimately cleared away by a Steel FC defender.
