It wasn’t a perfect match by any means, but Atlanta United 2 found a way to squeeze out an away point against OKC Energy FC, playing to a 2-2 draw at Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City on Sunday night. The 2s, who defeated OKC by a 1-0 count on May 1, now stand at 1-1-1 on the young campaign ahead of their home opener against undefeated FC Tulsa on Wednesday in Kennesaw.
The story of this one was Atlanta’s ability to shake off adversity and ultimately deny OKC (0-2-2) a win on home soil. OKC initially appeared as if they’d put in the opener in the 33rd minute, but an Energy FC player was ruled to have fouled an Atlanta player inside the box to negate the goal.
