Frankie Amaya scored his first career Major League Soccer goal to give fccincinnati a 1-0 victory over ATLUTD on Thursday.
United was playing a player down after Jake Mulraney was sent off in the 26th minute with his second yellow card. Cincinnati struggled for much of the match to capitalize on the man advantage against the 2018 MLS Cup champions until Amaya’s goal.
Cincinnati caught a break in first-half stoppage time when Atlanta appeared to win a penalty kick from a foul on Ezequiel Barco, but it was overturned by an offside call after video review. The two teams met early in the regular season in Atlanta, with United winning 2-1 on goals from Emerson Hyndman and Barco. Atlanta won both of its regular-season games before the league was shut down by the coronavirus outbreak on March 12.
Cincinnati struggled as an expansion team last season, finishing last in the Eastern Conference with a league-worst six wins. Going into Thursday’s game, it had just one win in its last 17 games.
