Atlanta United 2 tied 2-2 against Charlotte Independence Wednesday night at Fifth Third Bank Stadium. Bienvenue Kanakimana scored both goals for ATL UTD 2 while 17-year-old defender Jordan Matthews made his professional debut.
Despite a promising start from ATL TUD 2’s attack, Charlotte found the back of the net first in the 27th minute on a breakaway. From the right side of the penalty area, Alex Martinez found Jorge Herrera near the top of the box where he curled a shot into the right side of the goal.
Atlanta, however, leveled the match six minutes later through Kanakimana.
