SEATTLE — Josef Martinez converted a penalty kick in the 86th minute to help Atlanta United to a 1-1 tie with the Seattle Sounders.

Atlanta (2-1-3), which had won back-to-back games and is unbeaten in three straight, had 63% possession and snapped the Sounders’ four-game win streak.

Brooks Lennon drew a foul, conceded by Brad Smith, in the area and Martinez scored from the spot to make it 1-all.
