Saturday night at The Benz saw Atlanta United battle to a 0-0 draw against D.C. United in front of 35,418 fans. Not the most exciting result, but it was the second consecutive week United picked up a point, which is actually progress for a team that struggled early this season.
The timing was interesting since the Hawks were hosting Steph Curry and the Warriors next door at State Farm Arena (the Hawks had been on an 11-game win streak before that matchup). It's pretty wild that we can have two major league games happening simultaneously just blocks apart in downtown Atlanta.
Under manager 'Tata' Martino, United is slowly finding some consistency. A point is a point, and they'll take it heading into a break in their schedule. The next home match is April 4th against Columbus Crew, which should give the team time to work on actually finishing their chances and putting some goals on the board.
