ATLANTA, GA–Goalless draws are not the exclusive property of Chicago Fire FC this season as Saturday night saw four of them. One of which was at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as Atlanta United were unable to break FC Cincinnati and vice-versa. Alec Kann stopped a penalty against his former side after Marcelino Moreno handled a ball into the box and then the Flying Lions were down to ten after Nick Hagglund picked up his second yellow card in the 75th minute.
Potentially worse for the Five Stripes is that Brad Guzan left the match with a non-contact achilles injury with twenty minutes left.
“I don’t want to talk about the details about the injury, but it doesn’t look good,” Atlanta coach Gonzalo Pineda said. “That’s why I’m sad, it’s not about the result or the performance, it’s about Brad’s injury. I have to wait for the scans and tests that they are going to do. No, it was not a knee injury, it was an Achilles injury.”
