Evander scores twice for Cincinnati in 2-2 draw with Atlanta
CINCINNATI (AP) — Evander scored twice for Cincinnati and Atlanta benefited from the opposition's own goal as the teams played to a 2-2 draw on Saturday.
Emmanuel Latte Lath, Atlanta's leading goal scorer, provided a 1-0 lead in the 49th minute, a left-footed first-time strike into the left side of the goal. It was his fourth goal of the young MLS season.
Cincinnati leveled the score at 1 in the 69th minute when Evander scored off of a free kick. Atlanta's Brad Guzan dove to his right to stop Evander’s shot, but a harsh deflection off of the wall angled the ball into the net. Just five minutes later, Evander made it 2-1 when he delivered one into the right side of the goal.
Atlanta got the equalizer when Cincinnati's Alvas Powell misplayed a ball that ended up as an own goal in the 88th minute.
Cincinnati (2-2-1) had seven shots on goal to two for Atlanta (1-2-2).
The draw keeps Cincinnati undefeated at home in MLS play although FC Cincinnati had been seeking to start 3-0-0 at home for the second time in three seasons.
