Atlanta United 2 faced Orlando City B in a match that ended in a 2-2 draw, with the home team securing an extra point through a penalty shootout. The game marked Atlanta's first goals of the season, thanks to Luke Brennan and Ronan Wynne.

Just before halftime, Orlando equalized when Justin Ellis scored after combining with Jhon Solis from a throw-in. In the second half, Rodrigo Neri had an early chance for Atlanta but failed to score.

Orlando took the lead in the 56th minute via Shakur Mohammed from a corner by Taifi. Despite several attempts from Atlanta to level again, including shots from Tablante and Dominik Chong Qui, they were initially unsuccessful.

However, in the 78th minute, Nyk Sessock's delivery led to Wynne scoring his first professional goal after Neri's header found him inside the box.
