  • Atlanta Defeats Montreal 3-2

Emmanuel Latte Lath had a dream debut in Major League Soccer (MLS), scoring two goals in Atlanta United’s 3-2 victory over CF Montreal in the season opener.

The 26-year-old Ivorian striker justified his record-breaking $22 million signing by making an immediate impact on the field.

His first goal came in the 42nd minute, when he headed in a corner kick from Saba Lobjanidze, giving Atlanta a 1-0 lead.

However, Montreal responded quickly, equalizing 1-1 in the 47th minute through Nathan Saliba, the 21-year-old midfielder, who netted his second professional goal.

Latte Lath and Mosquera Secure Atlanta United’s Victory

Latte Lath struck again in the 63rd minute, putting Atlanta back in the lead after capitalizing on a goalkeeping mistake by Jonathan Sirois following a header from Miguel Almirón.

CF Montreal refused to give up and equalized 2-2 in the 71st minute with a goal from Prince Owusu, who finished from close range after a pass from George Campbell.

The decisive moment came in the 85th minute, when Edwin Mosquera, who had just entered the game two minutes earlier, broke the deadlock with a powerful shot that beat Sirois.

The Colombian winger showcased his skill, splitting two defenders at the edge of the box before securing the game-winning goal for Atlanta United.

Despite his errors, Sirois finished the match with five saves, preventing a wider margin of defeat.
