ATL UTD shows mental strength in biggest comeback in team history

No matter who you are –– fan, coach or player –– the reaction to Atlanta United’s stunning 4-3 comeback win over San Jose on Wednesday was hard to put into words.

“It had everything, that’s for sure,” said Michael Parkhurst. “I’ve played in some crazy games and that’s right up towards the top.”

After Chris Wondolowski put the ball in the net to seemingly make it 4-1, a video review called the play back for a handball in the box against San Jose, a turnaround that suddenly put the game within reach.

“We were protesting because it was a hand ball,” Miguel Almirón told reporters through a translator.
