There was late heartbreak for Montreal last night as they fought out a pulsating drama with Atlanta United.
As the game entered its final minute of added time a Montreal raid broke down on the edge of Atlanta’s box, Ibrahim opting to shoot rather than slip Hamdy in, to his right. Atlanta broke quickly, Mulraney a second-half substitute, produced a right-wing cross and Marcelino Moreno fighting off cramp on his “last legs”, steered a perfect header beyond Diop.
The ball glanced the upright before entering the net. Fine margins. Two inches to the right, it’s no goal and Montreal collects its first-ever point at Mercedes Benz.
