New England Revolution vs. Atlanta United, recap: Missed chances cost Fives Stripes a win

Josef Martinez gave Atlanta United an early lead, but missed opportunities and a late penalty allowed New England to walk away with a point in an infuriating 1-1 draw on Wednesday night in Foxborough.

Martinez gave the Five Stripes the lead with their first shot on target. A trickling Julian Gressel cross meandered past three Revolution players in the box and to the feet of Martinez who finished with ease.

The half ended with its lone clear chance as the difference.

Fortunately, plenty of clear chances were on the way from the Five Stripes.
