Atlanta United overtake San Jose Earthquakes with late comeback

In what could be construed as one of the most controversial MLS games of the year, visiting Atlanta United topped the San Jose Earthquakes 4-3 Wednesday night.

Atlanta -- the league's best team -- traveled west to take on San Jose -- the league's worst team -- in what figured to be another victory for the visitors. It was, but not until a bizarre final 20 minutes.

San Jose led 3-1 before an apparent goal from Chris Wondolowski was disallowed. Instead, following a video review, a penalty kick was awarded to Atlanta for a handball that happened 90 seconds earlier.
