Overview

  • Ivory Coast forward Emmanuel Latte Lath converted a 101st-minute penalty after referee Jon Freemon reviewed Luke Brennan’s challenge on the pitchside monitor to level the score at 1-1.
  • Deybi Flores had put Toronto FC ahead in the 48th minute with a Matty Longstaff corner that he headed past stand-in goalkeeper Jayden Hibbert.
  • The draw leaves Atlanta United without an away victory this season (0-7-4) and sitting 13th in the Eastern Conference, one point above Toronto FC.
  • Latte Lath snapped a 13-match goal drought dating back to his MLS-record $22 million move in February with his first score since late June.
  • Atlanta United has secured just two wins in its last 15 league matches, underscoring the disconnect between its heavy roster investment and inconsistent performances.
