Atlanta was on the road Saturday night and after a rainy weather delay,  Juanjo Purata scored his second goal of the season & Santiago Sosa secured his first career MLS goal to help Atlanta United draw Columbus Crew 2-2 at Lower Field.


Atlanta recorded 10 shots on target, the most by the team this season. With only eight games left in the season, the 5 Stripes are still in pursuit of a MLS playoff spot.

I think this is a moment for the team to adapt to the adversity that we’ve been dealing with all season long, and losing points when we should have won, and in terms of when we did win points when maybe we shouldn’t have.” said Head Coach Pineda. “I think using this adversity, it builds character and I think this is a great time for people to show up and really give everything they’ve got in the last eight games and come together as a team and make a run.”

Up Next: Atlanta (7-10-9, 30 points) returns to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 28 to face D.C. United 4:00 p.m.
