Atlanta United 2 also lost

While most of us were watching the atrocity at Nissan Stadium take place, Atlanta United 2 fell 2-1 at home to The Miami FC on Saturday night at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.

Some good news? Academy midfielder Ajani Fortune scored his first professional goal.

But first, Romario Williams pounced on a rebound in the 20th minute and slotted the ball past Ben Lundgaard, who had stopped the initial free kick by Tomas Granitto with a save to his right.

The 2s responded just a couple of minutes later though through Fortune. Following a Jack Gurr cross in the box, Jackson Conway’s touch was cleared by a Miami defender, but the clearance went right into the path of Fortune, who curled the ball from 18 yards into the top corner for the 1-1 equalizer.
