History was minutes from being made at Audi Field on Saturday night. D.C. United and Atlanta United, in 12 previous meetings, had never finished in a draw. But as each team failed to capitalize on scoring chances, sharing the points looked inevitable.
That was until the 94th minute. Atlanta defender Brooks Lennon sent a corner kick into the center of the box, where it met midfielder Marcelino Moreno’s head, then appeared to skim multiple D.C. defenders before it slipped past Bill Hamid’s dive and found the right corner of the goal.
D.C. players could only stand in place with their hands on their heads.
