CINCINNATI (AP) — Ronald Hernández scored his first MLS goal to help Atlanta play FC Cincinnati to a 1-1 draw Wednesday night in United interim coach Rob Valentino’s first game.
Atlanta (2-4-8) has a franchise-record nine-game winless streak.
It fired Gabriel Heinze on Sunday, a day after a 1-0 loss to New England.
United hasn’t lost back-to-back games since losing three straight in October 2020.
The 23-year-old Hernández, a defender who played five minutes in his only other MLS appearance, put away a cross by Brooks Lennon with a one-touch finish inside the near post to cap the scoring in the 70th minute.
Luciano Acosta scored for Cincinnati in the 61st.
