ATLANTA - Atlanta United played to a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas Saturday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Miguel Almirón scored his second goal of the season and his 23rd all time in the regular season with the club, moving him into a tie for second place in franchise history with Thiago Almada.

Consistent waves of Atlanta attacks resulted in an early penalty in the 16th minute. Tristan Muyumba shrugged off a tackle near midfield, turned toward goal and sent a looping ball into the box behind Dallas' backline. Latte Lath corralled the bouncing ball while shielding Osaze Urhoghide, but the Dallas center back pulled him down and Atlanta earned its first penalty of the season. Almirón stepped to the spot and drilled a shot into the bottom left corner under the glove of Maarten Paes for his second goal of the season.

Atlanta comfortably kept Dallas at bay in the first half, holding the visitors to one shot on target and carried its one goal lead into the half.

The second half opened with more dominance from the home side as Atlanta didn't allow a shot on target until the 60th minute when Dallas found an equalizer. Luciano Acosta played a ball to Petar Musa into the penalty area on the right side where his initial shot was blocked by Stian Gregersen, but it fell directly back into the path of Musa who buried the second chance into the roof of the net to tie the match.

Atlanta assumed control again and nearly took the lead in the 77th minute when Saba Lobjanidze fired a shot at the near post, but it was saved by Paes. Atlanta produced several threatening moments in transition, but couldn't string together the final product.

A pair of second half substitutes nearly connected for the game-winner in the 89th minute. Following a quick throw in by Brooks Lennon on the right side, Alexey Miranchuk cut the ball on to his favored left foot and sent a cross to the back post where Jamal Thiaré leapt and nodded it down, but his attempt missed wide of the post.

Atlanta United (2-2-3, 9 points) returns to action Saturday, April 12 when it hosts New England Revolution at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (2:45 p.m. ET, MLS Season Pass, FOX, FOX Deportes, 92.9 The Game, La Mejor).
