Atlanta United 2 fell 2-1 at home to The Miami FC on Saturday night at Fifth Third Bank Stadium. Academy midfielder Ajani Fortune scored his first professional goal.
The opening goal came in the 20th minute and it fell to The Miami FC. Romario Williams pounced on a rebound and slotted the ball past Ben Lundgaard, who had stopped the initial free kick by Tomas Granitto with a save to his right.
ATL UTD 2 responded just a couple of minutes later in the 23rd minute. 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.
