Jay Fortune entered in the 67th minute and scored an equalizer in the 74th minute for Atlanta United, who played visiting New York City FC to a 2-2 draw on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Atlanta (7-14-6, 27 points) failed to pick up its second straight win but stretched their unbeaten streak to three matches (1-0-2).<\/p>\n

New York City (8-10-9, 33 points) played to a second straight winless result.<\/p>\n

With Atlanta facing a 2-1 deficit, Fortune pulled his team level just moments after coming in off the bench.<\/p>\n

After Luke Brennan delivered a ball inside the penalty area to Tristan Muyumba, Muyumba settled the ball and played it back to Fortune, who struck it first-time past NYCFC goalkeeper Tomas Romero to make it 2-2. It was his third goal of the season.<\/p>\n

Fortune\u2019s goal cancelled out Andres Perea\u2019s go-ahead tally in the 57th minute. Agustin Ojeda\u2019s pass from the right side of the box found the run of Perea, who drilled it past Hoyos to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n

A self-inflicted error saw Atlanta United fall behind in the fifth minute. Ojeda worked his way into the box and slid a cross in front of the net. It deflected off the foot of Matt Edwards and past Atlanta goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos as NYCFC took a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

But Atlanta leveled the match in the 10th minute on a corner-kick routine. Elias Baez\u2019s delivery was headed by Enea Mihaj and into the path of Tomas Jacob. Jacob\u2019s pass across found Giuliano Galoppo, who made no mistake with the near-post finish to tie it at 1-1.<\/p>\n

Despite NYCFC pulling ahead once more in the second half, Atlanta\u2019s goal with just over 20 minutes remaining meant the two teams would walk off the pitch with a point apiece.<\/p>\n

Atlanta put five shots on target to New York City\u2019s three. Romero made three saves while Hoyos finished with two of his own.<\/p>\n

Atlanta\u2019s Daniel Chica (55th minute) and Cameron Dunbar (85th minute) each made their MLS debuts.<\/p>\n
