Atlanta United 2 scored deep into stoppage time to earn a much-deserved 1-1 draw against Indy Eleven. Academy product Dylan Gaither scored his first career USL goal in the 96th minute to secure the point, while fellow academy players Natnael McDonald and Luke Mitchell made their professional debuts.
“It is a huge moment for the team. We more than deserved that goal at the end. Obviously, it is a point, but tonight it feels like more than that.” said head coach Scott Donnelly. “They absolutely laid it on the line, and I think it is such a growth moment for many of our guys and the group at large.
