Atlanta United 2 fought back to earn a draw against the defending USL champions Louisville City FC 1-1 Saturday night in front of 4,135 fans at Coolray Field. Seventeen-year-old homegrown Andrew Carleton converted a 90th minute penalty kick to equalize and allow ATL UTD 2 to remain unbeaten this season.
“For a lot of us, we’re a very young team so I thought we handled it well,” said Carleton. “Playing against the best team in the league and going down 1-0 in the second half is not easy to be able to battle back so I thought we responded really well and fought hard.
