Atlanta United’s Controversial Last-Minute Win in MLS Sparks Debate: Clever Play or Unsportsmanlike Trick?

Within the MLS, either the most intelligent play in the world or a ‘trick’ that will cause controversy has just been presented, as Atlanta United player Jamal Thiaré stayed behind the goalkeeper and waited to steal the ball from him, thus winning in the 97th minute.

Toronto United had come from behind to rescue a point, but the curious thing is that, despite how obvious Thiaré’s intentions were, neither of them warned their goalkeeper what he was planning, so they lost in an unusual way.

Atlanta makes a ‘master move’ and wins in the 97th minute

This Saturday, June 29, one more day of the MLS was played, a tournament that does not stop despite having a ‘summer break’ or international tournaments, such as the Copa América, and where Atlanta United hosted Toronto.

The score was tied 1-1 until minute 90+7 and everything seemed to indicate that units were going to be shared, until Jamal Thiaré showed such liveliness that he ‘stole’ the victory in the last breath.

Goalkeeper Luka Gravan contained one last opportunity for Atlanta and prepared to send his teammates to attack, but Jamal Thiaré took the opportunity to ‘drink water’, and thus stay behind him, while he hunted him until he released the ball.

Gravan leaves the ball on the grass to launch a long pass, but Thiaré catches him ‘asleep’, so he steals the ball, Kosi Thompson comes down to help him, but it is too late, since with this goal Atlanta won it in the MLS at minute 90+7.

Thanks to that play, Atlanta reached 24 points and climbed to ninth place in the Eastern Conference, while Toronto, with the same number of points, is in eighth place. What do you think, is it a ‘cheat’ or a smart move?
