Atlanta United are still looking for their first MLS win of 2019 after a disappointing 1-1 draw at home against FC Cincinnati. Atlanta’s attack struck early with a Josef Martinez goal in the fifth minute of the game. However, a late defensive lapse led to Cincinnati’s only goal of the night with just a couple of minutes remaining.
After two disappointing losses earlier in the week against D.C. United and Monterrey, the Five Stripes sorely needed a result. With Cincinnati losing 4-1 to Seattle just a week prior, Atlanta fans and media alike expected the defending MLS champions to have no problems with the expansion side.
