United on Saturday night, as they played Atlanta United to a 1-1 draw on the final day of the MLS regular season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Despite its three-match losing streak coming to an end, D.C. (5-18-11, 26 points) saw its winless streak reach five matches (0-2-3). Saturday’s draw also means it will finish at the bottom of the MLS table for the first time since 2013.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Atlanta (5-16-13, 27 points) avoided a last-place finish in the league standings with the draw but saw its winless streak reach six matches (0-4-2).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Pirani scored in the 67th minute, almost immediately after Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan delivered a kick save on Christian Benteke’s initial attempt.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Joao Peglow’s follow-up shot deflected off Atlanta defender Enea Mihaj and back to Pirani, who ultimately finished at Guzan’s far post to make it 1-1. It was Pirani’s seventh goal of the season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Pirani’s goal matched a third-minute opener from Atlanta’s Miguel Almiron. The Paraguay international’s low-driven, long-distance shot from just beyond the edge of the box found its way past D.C. goalkeeper Jordan Farr as Atlanta opened up a 1-0 lead. It was Almiron’s sixth goal of the season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Almiron appeared to make it 2-0 in the 18th minute on a free kick from Steven Alzate, but he found himself offside in the process.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n After Pirani’s equalizer in the second half, Saba Lobjanidze had an opportunity to deliver a potential go-ahead tally for Atlanta in the 84th minute, but D.C. United’s Lukas MacNaughton cleared the ball off the goal line at the last second.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Meanwhile, Guzan, who announced his retirement on Tuesday after a professional career that spanned just over two decades, finished with three saves in his final match, his only blemish of the night coming on the Pirani goal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Atlanta had 13 total shots to D.C.’s 10, while also holding a 7-4 edge in shots on goal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Farr finished the night with five saves for D.C.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
