DC United enjoyed the lion's share of the ball, holding 70 percent possession and forcing 19 shots to Atlanta United's four, yet could not turn that pressure into a goal, managing just three shots on target across the ninety minutes.

The result leaves DC United, managed by R. Weiler, on 29 points from 24 games in 22nd position, while Atlanta United sit 28th with 23 points from 25 matches. Neither side could build on recent form with a win, extending indifferent runs for both clubs in the standings.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave DC United 41%, the draw 27%, Atlanta United FC 32%. It finished DC United 0–0 Atlanta United FC.
Home ground outweighs Atlanta United FC's rating edge — Atlanta United FC are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage gives DC United the lean. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why DC United at 41%?
Home ground, against the rating. Atlanta United FC sit 54 points higher on our strength rating — 1389 to 1442. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,621 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.3% of 5,159 games vs 44.9% across all 100,077 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 41%?
Because Atlanta United FC are the stronger side on our strength rating. Atlanta United FC hold 8 more possession points (47 to 39 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.3% across 5,582 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,178. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw. The control factor adds 1.3 points to the draw.
