Match report
Philadelphia Union score twice in stoppage time to stun 10-man Atlanta
Philadelphia Union completed a remarkable turnaround with two stoppage-time goals to beat Atlanta United FC 3-2 in a Major League Soccer Regular Season - 18 fixture at Subaru Park. Atlanta had led for most of the contest despite being reduced to ten men, but Philadelphia's late surge overturned what had looked a lost cause deep into the second half.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Atlanta's Enea Mihaj was sent off in the 26th minute, yet the away side still went ahead four minutes later through Miguel Almirón. Tristan Muyumba doubled the advantage in the 66th minute, finishing an Aleksey Miranchuk assist to make it 2-0. Milan Iloski pulled one back for Philadelphia in the 73rd minute, setting up a tense finish.
The Union's persistence paid off in dramatic fashion. Neil Pierre converted a Kai Wagner assist in the sixth minute of stoppage time to level the score at 2-2, and moments later, in the seventh minute of added time, Ezekiel Alladoh struck from another Wagner assist to complete the comeback and hand Philadelphia a 3-2 victory.
Muyumba earned the highest rating on the pitch at 8.5, scoring Atlanta's second goal, though his side ultimately could not hold onto the lead his effort helped build.
Philadelphia dominated possession with 72% of the ball despite playing without a numerical advantage until Mihaj's dismissal, underlining how territorial control alone did not translate into an early lead.
