Emerson Hyndman played Brooks Lennon to the right wing, where Lennon took a pair of touches before unleashing a cross to the far post. Erick Torres, making his first start with the club, was able to get on the end of it, but his left-footed touch went over the bar.
Atlanta continued to own possession throughout the game, finishing with 60 percent, but was unable to find a breakthrough. Guzan made three saves, including one in the second half, and Miles Robinson made a crucial block in the 89th minute to keep the match level.
Atlanta United (3-4-1, 10 points) returns to action Saturday, Sept. 5 against Orlando City SC (8:00 p.m., FOX, Sports Radio 92-9 The Game, La Mejor).
