Atlanta United’s unbeaten streak on the road was shattered today as the Montreal Impact scored a heartbreaker in stoppage time to take the 2-1 comeback victory.
Kenwyne Jones earned his first start and netted his first goal in MLS to give Atlanta United the advantage in the first half, but just before the break, a red card shown to Leandro González Pirez and a penalty awarded to Montreal forced Atlanta a man down and allowed the Impact to level the score. The expansion side showcased some heroic defending and heart in the second half, but a redirected shot in stoppage time trickled into the net for the home side.
