The goal proved to be the winning score for the team who got a much-needed three points in the tight playoff race in Major League Soccer. Martinez was awarded the penalty shot after a handball was called on Miami defender Leandro González Pirez inside the box. Aside from providing the winning goal for his team, the goal is also special for Martinez since it is his 100th goal for tor the team. “It was destiny that it had to be Josef with a penalty to score his hundredth goal and help us to win as a team,” head coach Gonzalo Pineda said.

Nashville SC Snaps Atlanta United FC’s 4-Game Winning Streak
ATLANTA –The coaching debut of Gonzalo Pineda did not end well as planned as the home team Atlanta United FC suffered a 0-2 defeat at the hands of the visiting Nashville SC on Saturday afternoon at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The loss is painful for United FC since their four-game winning streak has also ended. Coming into the game, the United FC is feeling confident with their winning streak and a new coach. However, Nashville SC spoiled the planned victory party for Pineda after the team scored two goals from Daniel Rios and Randall Leal. With their defeat, United FC is once again back on the drawing board to plot its strategy to get back to its winning ways. United FC (6-7-9, 27 points) hopes to regain its winning momentum when they host the Orlando City SC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday evening (7:00 p.m., FS1, Sports Radio 92-9 The Game, La Mejor).

Josef Martinez Wants To End His Career As an Atlanta United FC Player
ATLANTA, GEORGIA— Atlanta United FC star striker Josef Martinez on Tuesday, doused off rumors that he wants to get out of the team and play somewhere else. In a press conference, Venezuela soccer star Martinez said, he loved playing for the city and is very grateful, that the team acquired him. “The first time I came here, I said, this is my club, this is my city and I love to be here,” Martinez said. Martinez added that if given the chance he wants to end his professional soccer career in the MLS soccer club. “I want to retire here. I love this club,” Martinez stated. Rumors have been circulating earlier, that Martinez wants to leave the team due to his reported feud with former coach Gabriel Heinze. Sources said Martinez will play for the team when they visit the home team FC Cincinnati, on July 21 at TQL Stadium. United FC interim head coach Rob Valentino is optimistic his crew can finally get back to its winning ways, especially that Martinez is expected to play in the game. United FC is also confident of a victory against the home team since Cincinnati is also struggling in the ongoing Major League Soccer season. Cincinnati’s defense has unsurprisingly been one of the worst in the league and conceded the second-most goals in the league (25). To defeat the home team, Martinez needs to play his A-game come game-time. Aside from Martinez, newly acquired player striker Amar Sejdic also needs to play well for United FC. If Valentino can come up with a good game plan on Wednesday, there is no reason his team will lose against the home team.

Atlanta United FC Prexy Vow to Make Some Moves to Further Improve Team
ATLANTA, GEORGIA—Sensing urgency with regards to the recent lackluster performance of Atlanta United FC, United FC president Darren Eales has vowed to do some moves to further improve the team. In a recent interview with 92.9 The Game this week, Eales revealed they are set to use the coming transfer window to make some moves to improve the team who is having a hard time winning as of late. “It’s too early in terms of panicking, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to look to improve the squad,” Eales said. “We’ve got another opportunity with the window coming up and the ability to try to make some moves,” Eales added. Making a move in the transfer window has been a clamor for the team who is currently 10th in the Eastern Conference. In its last game on June 27 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the home team suffered a scoreless draw against the visiting New York Red Bulls. While the team failed to achieve a win, it is still happy since they were able to extend their home unbeaten streak in league play to five matches. Playing in front of its 42,575 fans, the United played solid from the get-go but the Red Bulls defense is just too hard to crack. The visiting Red Bulls also played superbly in the game but United veteran goalkeeper Brad Guzan foiled all their goal attempts. Guzan has a solid performance in the game as he recorded four saves to post his third clean sheet of the regular season. United (2-2-6, 12 points) hopes to get back to its winning ways when they visit Chicago Fire FC at Soldier Field on July 3 (8:00 p.m. ET, Bally Sports South, Sports Radio 92-9 The Game, La Mejor). https://atlantasoccer.news/atlanta-united-fc-prexy-vow-to-make-some-moves-to-further-improve-team/ #AtlantaUnited2FC #AtlantaUnited2 #soccer #MLS #MajorLeagueSoccer #Atlantasoccernews #Atlantasoccer #AtlantaUnited #ChicagoFire #DarrenEales #MajorLeagueSoccer #mls #NewYorkRedBulls #SoldierField
