Atlanta United emerged from Miami with a 1-1 draw last weekend in a match that summed up much of the season so far, with the Five Stripes controlling the ball and looking dangerous at times, with their opponents creating chances on the counter.
The response to the draw has been justifiably mixed, but by far the biggest positive was a goal for Josef Martinez, who finally found the back of the net for the first time in more than a year. It was the usual class from the Venezuelan, who turned on a dime in the box and struck the ball with his “weaker” left foot into the far corner.
