In a matter of 18 seconds, the footballers of Atlanta United, of Major League Soccer, the first division of the United States, went from being on the verge of ‘climbing glory’ to experiencing a ‘unique tragedy’.
This is how a play from the match against CF Montreal, from the most recent date in the North American league, is summarized, in which its players wasted a corner kick and suffered a counterattack in which, to tell the truth, all their lines failed.
The most absurd goal in the world?
It was the 27th minute of the game when Atlanta had a corner kick from the left flank of the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the home of the Georgia state capital soccer club. Despite the fact that there were seven men from the team in the rival area, the collector decided to play short.
Next, the player who received the ball tried to connect with another teammate who was further back. His pass, imprecise, was close to being intercepted. However, the ball was left bouncing and, although it was believed that they could regain possession, another player from the team fell and the ball was taken by the rivals. From now on, the expected closing for an unlucky move.

Montreal forward Djorde Mihailovic received the ball as he crossed midfield. After a solo run, Brad Guzan, an experienced goalkeeper for the United States National Team, arrived in front of the goal. Although the attacker had an option to pass with another teammate, Guzan decided to ‘run away from the goal’ without Mihailovic making any feints. The end was one: goal.
Users on social networks have taken advantage of the unusual move to give their opinion on the level of the main North American soccer league. The comments have not been the kindest.
