Josef Martinez extended his MLS-record goal-scoring streak to 12 games, and Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta United remained undefeated all-time against host Orlando City with a fourth consecutive victory overall, 1-0 on Friday night.
Quiet for the first 59 minutes of the match, Martinez took a heel-tapped pass from Ezequiel Barco and drilled the ball home on the hour mark for his 22nd goal of 2019. The reigning MLS Most Valuable Player has totaled 17 goals over his past 12 games.
Though Orlando (9-12-7, 34 points) was quite active in Atlanta's final-third for much of the evening, Martinez was the only one to break through.
