Atlanta United picks up road point in 1-1 draw vs. Seattle Sounders FC

Atlanta United played Seattle Sounders FC to a 1-1 draw Sunday at Lumen Field. Josef Martinez scored his second goal of the season, converting an 86th minute penalty kick, and Atlanta held Seattle to just two shots on target en route to extending its unbeaten streak to three consecutive matches.

Seattle opened the scoring in the sixth minute through Raul Ruidiaz. Joao Paulo delivered an out-swinging corner kick towards Ruidiaz at the edge of the six-yard box who was able to beat his mark and head the cross into the top-right corner of the net. But thanks to Atlanta’s stingy defense, it would be the last attempted shot on target by Seattle until second half stoppage time.
