Atlanta United rallies for 3-2 victory to end Orlando City's 12-match unbeaten streak
ATLANTA (AP) — Jamal Thiaré scored in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time after Bartosz Slisz scored the equalizer in the 83rd — six minutes after César Araújo received a red card — and Atlanta United rallied to end Orlando City's club-record-tying 12-match unbeaten streak with a 3-2 victory Wednesday night. Araújo, who scored early to give Orlando City the lead, was whistled for violent conduct in the 77th minute, leaving the club shorthanded. Slisz used an assist from Alexey Miranchuk to score his second goal — doubling his total in 28 appearances last season. Thiaré found the net for the third time this season — subbing in for Emmanuel Latte Lath in the 68th minute. Miranchuk scored unassisted in the 19th minute to tie it 1-1. He has two goals and two assists. Miranchuk totaled three goals in nine appearances last season — his first in the league. Ramiro Enrique — starting for the third time in 13 appearances this season — scored unassisted in the 32nd minute to give Orlando City a 2-1 lead at halftime. It was his second goal after netting a career-high eight last year. Brad Guzan finished with four saves in his club-record 250th career appearance for Atlanta United (4-7-5). Pedro Gallese saved two shots for Orlando City (7-3-6) at the end of a 6-0-6 stretch. The club's last loss was a 2-1 road defeat to New York City FC on March 8. Orlando City beat Atlanta United 3-0 at home to close out April. Orlando City will host the Chicago Fire on Saturday. Atlanta United travels to play the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:

Wilfried Zaha has goal, assist in his debut with Charlotte, keys 2-0 win over Atlanta United
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Wilfried Zaha waited for the start of the second half to officially introduce himself to his new hometown fans, setting up one goal four minutes into the half, then scoring himself five minutes later as Charlotte FC beat Atlanta United 2-0 in its home opener Saturday. Making his debut with the club and expected to be an offensive spark after scoring 68 Premier League goals in 305 appearances, Zaha helped manufacture both goals on fast-break opportunities created by the Charlotte midfield. Zaha got the ball in transition, dribbled into the box and threaded a perfect pass to a wide-open Pep Biel, who left-footed a shot past Atlanta keeper Brad Guzan. Five minutes later Charlotte created another fast break chance and Liel Abada fired a shot from the right side toward the upper left corner that Atlanta FC keeper Brad Guzan fisted away, but the carom landed at the feet of Zaha, who buried the ball into the bottom right corner. A loan capture from Turkish club Galatasaray after a 10-year career with Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Cardiff City of the English Premier League, Zaha, from Cote d'Ivoire, missed Charlotte FC's season-opening 2-2 draw with the Seattle Sounders to be in London with his wife, Paige, for the birth of their daughter, Zuri. FC Charlotte's stingy defense limited Atlanta to just three shots on goal, despite repeatedly getting touches within scoring range to launch 16 attempts. Charlotte keeper Kristijan Kahlina had three saves. Charlotte put five of its 10 shot attempts on goal. ___
