ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Adam Jahn scored on header in the final minutes of second-half stoppage time to give Atlanta United a 1-1 draw with Orlando City on Saturday night.
Jake Mulraney crossed from outside the 18-yard box to Jahn, who scored his third career goal.
Benji Michel scored in the final minute of the first-half stoppage time for Orlando City (4-2-4). He connected on an easy redirect from Daryl Dike.
Atlanta (3-4-2) had a couple of opportunities early in the second half. Cubo Torres' wide-open header was wide. Orlando City goalie Pedro Gallese batted away Emerson Hyndman's shot from distance seconds later.
Orlando City nearly added a second goal in the 79th minute, but Nani's laser free kick glanced off the post.
