Picault’s first goal this season came in his second appearance with an assist from defender Jordi Alba – his second – in the 89th minute. Messi scored the equalizer in the 20th minute. It was his first goal in two starts this season.
Brooks Lennon made his 200th career start and first this season and immediately had an impact in the 11th minute when he sent a crossing pass to Emmanuel Latte Lath, who sent a header past former Atlanta United goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo. It was Latte Lath’s third goal in his fourth career start. Miguel Almirón also had an assist – his second this season and 30th of his career. The goal ended a 195-minute scoring drought.
It was a club-record-tying 39th career assist for Lennon – equaling the mark of Julian Gressel. Lennon saw action for the first time since injuring his shoulder against Inter Miami in the playoffs last season. Atlanta United shocked the Supporters’ Shield winners by winning the rubber match 3-2 on the road in a best-of-three first-round series.
The combo nearly paid off again in the 19th minute, but Latte Lath’s goal was waived off for offsides and Messi forced a turnover and turned it into a goal a minute later to tie it.
