TORONTO (AP) — Emmanuel Latte Lath converted a penalty kick in the 11th minute of stoppage time for Atlanta United on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with Toronto FC.
Latte Lath's shot from the spot was parried by goalkeeper Sean Johnson near the left post but slipped inside the right post to cap the scoring.

Jayden Hibbert, who turns 21 on Aug. 5, made his MLS debut for Atlanta and finished with four saves. Hibbert started in place of Brad Guzan, who underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured cheekbone that occurred in a collision with teammate Luis Abram in last week's 0-0 tie at D.C. United.
Deybi Flores headed home a corner kick played in by Matty Longstaff to give Toronto a 1-0 lead in the 48th minute.
Toronto (4-11-6) has one win in its last seven games.
Atlanta (4-10-7) is winless in four straight.

Where do all 30 teams stand one week from the MLB trade deadline?
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. 🚨 Headlines ⚽️ MLS wins All-Star Game: Despite Lionel Messi's absence, the MLS All-Stars beat the Liga MX All-Stars, 3-1, in Austin for their third win in four tries under this format. Philadelphia forward Tai Baribo, who scored the game-winning goal, was named MVP. ⚾️ Ohtani homers again: Shohei Ohtani homered in his fifth straight game, tying six other Dodgers for the longest such streak in franchise history. And just like that, he holds the outright NL lead with 37 bombs. ⚽️ Spain moves on: Spain beat Germany, 1-0, in extra time to advance to Sunday's Women's Euro final, where they'll face defending champion England in a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final, which Spain won. 🏈 Training camp headlines: "[Russell Wilson] is our starter," said Giants coach Brian Daboll; Daniel Jones got more reps than Anthony Richardson as the Colts' QB1; Terry McLaurin, Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson are among the seven most notable holdouts (or hold-ins). ⚾️ Rare occurrence: The Pirates became the first team since 1980 to get swept by the worst team in a league (White Sox) and then sweep the best team in that league (Tigers) in back-to-back series after the season's midpoint. ⚾️ MLB trade deadline: Where do all 30 teams stand? The 2025 MLB Trade Deadline is one week from today (July 31). Where does each team stand? Below, Yahoo Sports' Jake Mintz puts all 30 clubs into tiers based on their outlook. Full buy Teams with legitimate World Series aspirations, who, like all of us, could use a little bit of extra support. 9 teams: Cubs (60-42), Astros (60-42), Blue Jays (60-42), Dodgers (60-43), Mets (59-44), Phillies (58-44), Yankees (56-46), Padres (55-47), Mariners (54-48) The Brewers and Tigers Outstanding ballclubs with strong farm systems that should be all-in, but given their transactional track records and organizational DNA, it's unlikely that the chips go flying into the pot. 2 teams: Brewers (61-41), Tigers (60-43) Stand pat/thread the needle Clubs likely to either sit on their hands or participate in a little buy/sell dribble-drabble. They're too good to full sell but not good enough to full buy, so they'll do neither or both. 5 teams: Giants (54-49), Rangers (53-50), Rays (53-50), Reds (53-50), Angels (49-53) The Red Sox Given the roller coaster that has been their season thus far, the Red Sox exist in their own tier. What the hottest baseball soap opera of 2025 will do at the deadline is anyone's guess. 1 team: Red Sox (55-49) The teams with the keys Clubs that, if they decide to pull the plug, have enviable assets to sell. How they perform over the next week will likely determine their course of action at the deadline. 5 teams: Cardinals (52-51), Guardians (51-10), Diamondbacks (50-53), Royals (50-53), Twins (49-53) Light sell You can't have an estate sale with an empty house. These subpar teams simply don't have many expiring contracts to trade and would prefer to hold on to anybody who can help them in 2026. 5 teams: Marlins (48-53), Braves (44-57), Athletics (42-62), Nationals (41-61), Rockies (26-76) Obvious full sell Anything and everything must and will go. 3 teams: Orioles (44-57), Pirates (42-61), White Sox (37-66) More from Yahoo Sports: The top 26 players who could be traded (Russell Dorsey) The most glaring needs for top contenders (Jordan Shusterman) 🎧 Fresh podcast: Deals we'd like to see (Baseball Bar-B-Cast) 🏈 Could Saban return to the NFL to coach Manning? I'm a sucker for a juicy sports rumor, and it's hard to get much juicier than this: Could Nick Saban return to the NFL next season to coach Arch Manning? Here's Colin Cowherd on Wednesday's episode of "The Herd" on FS1: This is the worst kept secret in the South. Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Browns — huge SEC, Tennessee booster, leans heavily on the Manning family. Very close to the Manning family. Arch Manning is part of the Manning family. Nick Saban is incredibly close not only to Jimmy Haslam, but to the Manning family as well. And so Saban, if he could land, I'm told, a top quarterback — like Harbaugh going to the Chargers for [Justin] Herbert — he would take a phone call from the NFL. And there are two teams guaranteed to be awful this year in the NFL: Cleveland and the Saints. Nick Saban has coached in Cleveland with the Browns … and he coached at LSU. The Mannings are royalty in New Orleans … and the Mannings are royalty to Jimmy Haslam. Haslam's circle of trust, according to an article in The Athletic last year, is the Manning family and Jimmy Sexton. Sexton is Nick Saban's agent. … This story is a poorly kept secret. The Mannings. Haslam. Jimmy Sexton. Nick Saban. … Saban's not going to college. He would take a call in the NFL. … This is not a conspiracy theory. To recap: Arch Manning could be a top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the Browns and Saints could be candidates to select him. The Mannings have connections to both franchises, as does Nick Saban, who is close to the Mannings. Could that result in Saban returning to the sidelines next season with Arch as his signal-caller? Let the speculation begin. ⛳️ Ryder Cup standings Golf's major season is over, and while the race for the FedEx Cup playoffs continues today at the 3M Open in Minnesota, the more intriguing race is for the 24 coveted spots at the Ryder Cup in September. How it works: The top six Americans in the Ryder Cup rankings following the BMW Championship on Aug. 17 will automatically make the team, as will the top six Europeans following the Betfred British Masters on Aug. 24. The final six players on each side will then be chosen by the captains. Below, the current top 12 for each team… 🇺🇸 USA Just two players have guaranteed their spots so far: Scottie Scheffler, whose lead is insurmountable, and Bryson DeChambeau, who has been guaranteed a spot by captain Keegan Bradley. Top 6: Scheffler (32,420 points) Xander Schauffele (13,384) J.J. Spaun (12,479) Russell Henley (11,624) DeChambeau (10,775) Harris English (10,386) 7-12: Justin Thomas (10,208); Collin Morikawa (9,744); Ben Griffin (8,605); Bradley (8,039); Maverick McNealy (7,414); Brian Harman (7,008) What to watch: Bradley is playing some of the best golf of his life and must decide whether he wants to make himself the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963. 🇪🇺 Europe Rory McIlroy has already made the team. The other 11 spots are still up for grabs, but some believe captain Luke Donald will pick almost exactly the same roster that dominated the Americans two years ago in Rome. Top 6: McIlroy (3,441) Robert MacIntyre (1,345) Tommy Fleetwood (1,315) Tyrrell Hatton (1,279) Shane Lowry (1,234) Sepp Straka (1,227) 7-12: Rasmus Højgaard (1,135); Justin Rose (1,020); Ludvig Åberg (1,007); Viktor Hovland (930); Thomas Detry (780); Matt Wallace (753) 📊 By the numbers ⚾️ 220 games later The Rockies beat the Cardinals, 6-0, on Wednesday for their first shutout in 220 games, snapping the longest streak without one in MLB's modern era (since 1900). Their last shutout was an 8-0 victory over the Padres on May 15, 2024. Signs of improvement: The Rockies have gone from historically atrocious (9-50 start to the season) to regular bad (17-26 since), and currently sit at 26-76. They'll need to win at least 15 of their remaining 60 games to avoid breaking the modern MLB record for losses in a season (121). ⚽️ 120,000 viewers MLS commissioner Don Garber revealed that Apple TV+'s MLS Season Pass is averaging 120,000 unique viewers per match. The good news: That's a 50% increase over last year, per Garber. The bad news: That's not a very big number. ESPN reportedly averaged 343,000 viewers for MLS matches during the 2022 season, the last in which the league aired games outside of Apple. 🏈 $432.6 million The NFL's 32 franchises each reportedly received a record $432.6 million in revenue sharing payouts over the last fiscal year.

Tennessee Titans' Cam Ward on Treylon Burks: 'He's going to be one of our best targets'
One of the things that happened Wednesday, on the first day of Tennessee Titans training camp, that flew under the radar was the return of Treylon Burks to full practice. Burks, who is returning from a torn ACL, has had an amazing recovery and, in many ways, is ahead of schedule. After participating in a limited fashion during OTAs and minicamp, Burks is settling in and preparing to battle a group of young receivers for his spot on the roster. After practice, Burks spoke with a reporter about his offseason and how it felt to be back on the field. The veteran receiver appears to be embracing the dynamics of the rebuilt receiver room as he works his way back to 100 percent. "It was a different type of offseason for me. Learn how to run, learn how to jump. Get back stronger, get back in shape, and catch up with where I left off to be out here," he said. Cam Ward also noticed Burks during team drills and singled him out during his first training camp media scrum. "He's going to be one of our best targets this year. Not a lot of guys at his size can move like him," he said. These comments were interesting and could have some legs. But there is still a long way to go in the camp, and nothing is set in stone. Ward has always had a reputation for being a great teammate and leader, and he could be using his platform to further motivate Burks. No matter what happens in training camp, Burks has worked his way into an opportunity. Now it is up to him to seize his moment and potentially live up to his draft pedigree.

Perils of tanking, costs of fandom and intrigue of Nick Lardis: Lazerus NHL mailbag
Before we get to the silliness, futility and futile silliness of a summer hockey mailbag, I just wanted to say a quick thanks for the overwhelming and unexpected response to my column about my dad a few weeks ago. It was just something I wrote in a daze on the plane that night; I tend to think with my fingers and was just trying to put the mental chaos I was feeling into something coherent for my own sake. And I've never been so uneasy about an edit as I was when I had my mom read it first. But all your comments, tweets, texts and personal stories were genuinely heartening and comforting. My mom, my brother and I read them all, and we all thank you. Advertisement Now, on to the promised nonsense. I'll let the results of our Chicago Blackhawks fan survey next week address all the conspiracy theories and rending of garments about Danny Wirtz and the rest of the team brass. And none of you asked anything nearly as interesting and involved as 'Reimagine the Blackhawks as Harry Potter characters,' so I'm going to try to be succinct (not my forte!) so I can get to as many as possible. Part 2 will run soon. Questions have been edited for clarity and length. Let's dive in. Maybe I'm too late, but I just heard you on 'The Athletic Hockey Show' saying, 'These kinds of rebuilds never work' about the Blackhawks. But I think you're the same guy who's said, 'No one's ever done it like this before.' Who, as a Chicago radio institution put it, are you crappin'? — Ted M. I say a lot of stupid things, so I'm going to need some accurate citations here. But both of those statements are true. At least, in the modern era. I'd argue that no team in the salary-cap era has won the Stanley Cup by actively tanking. The closest one would be the 2010 Blackhawks, but organizational incompetence isn't quite the same thing as intentionally losing. Sure, you need a couple of big names at the top of the lineup, and the draft is an excellent way to get there. But no team successfully builds exclusively through the draft. Not those Blackhawks. Not these Florida Panthers. Not anyone. At some point, you have to start trying. And it's true, the Blackhawks have tanked harder than any team has tanked since maybe the 1983-84 Pittsburgh Penguins. And with Chicago GM Kyle Davidson making an absurd 11 first-round picks in the last four drafts, and possibly Gavin McKenna waiting next summer, maybe I'll look foolish in the long run. Wouldn't be the first time. But given how disastrous other full guts have gone (hello, Buffalo and Detroit!), all I can hear in my head is Tobias Fünke saying, 'But it might work for us,' or Chief Wiggum saying, 'No, no, dig UP, stupid.' Advertisement Will Laurent Brossoit ever play a game for the Blackhawks? — Gregory E. You know, I actually saw Laurent Brossoit — or, at least, someone who WGN's Charlie Roumeliotis told me was Laurent Brossoit — walking out of the locker room after a game late last season, but I'm still not entirely convinced he's a real person and not simply a deepfake we all saw online last summer. If he does exist, I imagine he's in the same dungeon underneath the United Center in which Stan Bowman stashed Nikolai Khabibulin after Antti Raanta's emergence in 2014. Seriously, though, put it this way: If Brossoit — a very good goalie, historically — is physically able to play this season, it should be for the Edmonton Oilers, not the Chicago Blackhawks. Lord Stanley knows they need him. Will you please stop being a smug elite journalist who is above reproach and who has never done anything wrong? And please get off your high horse and report sports rather than your political and progressive views. When you report sports, you are actually a very good reporter. Nobody but your political believers cares about your personal opinions; just do the sports. — Jed I. Three things: First, very kind of you to call me elite. Thank you. Second, I'm literally an opinion columnist. It's my primary role at The Athletic. So, no? Third, I only included this question because my 13-year-old daughter was Googling me (as, I suppose, you do as a kid these days) recently and found a robust Reddit thread entitled, 'Does anyone like Mark Lazerus? [serious question]' and she read every word and showed all her friends and thought it was the funniest thing ever. And she was correct. [serious answer] At what point should fans be much more upset about the costs involved with attending and supporting a team that seems to think of them as piggy banks? I have had full-season seats since 1994. The costs around this incarnation of the team are ridiculous. From parking to concessions and even merch, I feel like the club is raising costs whenever and however they like, with absolutely no consideration for the people who go to 30-plus games a year. I am not angry about the team trying to make a buck, but this is getting ridiculous. They have one of the lowest salary outputs in the league, the squad will most likely have yet another bottom-five finish, and if/when they get to be decent again, all I know is my seats will go up another 10-30 percent. When does it stop? Is the problem me? — Andrew C. Couldn't have said it any better myself. It'll never stop. And every single one of you (well, at least those without a trust fund) should have reached that point years ago. Nearly every team in every league has made it all but impossible for an average family of four to reasonably attend a game. And for billionaires to keep asking for the same amount of money (or more!) from working-class fans when they're actively trying to put a failing team on the ice or on the field or on the court, as the Blackhawks and so many other teams have done in this era of long-term tear-down rebuilds, is genuinely unconscionable. It's wealth inequity and late-stage capitalism at its worst. Eat the rich, man. (Sorry not sorry, Jed I.) Advertisement How detrimental is it to Connor Bedard's development not to find at least one high-performing winger to help open up Bedard's game? I understand wanting to make room for young players, but having a third year of plugging in secondary options on the top line seems risky. — JR. I've been beating this drum for a while now. But to be fair to Davidson, he did try to get Jake Guentzel last summer and had to settle for Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teräväinen, both of whom seem to have been poached for the second line by Frank Nazar. The fact is, Bedard does need someone who can keep up with him — physically and mentally — for him to reach his almost limitless potential. But the fact also is, no stud winger in his prime is looking to sign with the Blackhawks until they show they're serious about trying to win. Call it a Catch-98. Part of the perils of tanking. Favorite 'KPop Demon Hunter' song? Are you Team Huntr/X or Team Saja Boys? — Conor H. Please. I'm here for the bops, not the abs. And how does that Saja Boy with the gray hair even see? Truthfully, the songs all blur together for me as my 9-year-old plays the movie on an endless loop, the way I did 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' when I was her age. But someone explain to me how you make a movie that focuses so seriously on a trifurcated three-person songwriting process — the lyrics, the harmonies, the beat — and then have it culminate in a completely spontaneous yet perfectly structured final song, like the kind you see in a Broadway musical? It's just bad screenwriting. It's 'Up' all over again. (Do NOT get me started on 'Up.' You think I'm an insufferable pedant with the 'dynasty' talk …) Who is your 'long-shot' prospect who gets some NHL time this year? — Anthony D. Samuel Savoie. The Blackhawks have a ton of talent in the system. They don't have a ton of sandpaper. Savoie's nasty side could be enough for him to leapfrog a bunch of guys. What did players who had the type of OHL season Nick Lardis had last season do the following year? Did they open in the NHL? How many points did they follow their monster year with? — Joshua T. It's difficult to find a historical trend for Lardis because so few players in the modern era have done what he did last season. Since the turn of the century, only John Tavares (72) has scored more goals in an OHL season than Lardis' 71 last season (thanks to Elite Prospects for the data). Of course, Tavares was 16 when he did that and Lardis was 19, so temper your expectations a bit. But next on the list in the 21st century? Alex DeBrincat, with 65 goals. He was 19, too. DeBrincat jumped right into the NHL the next season, a year earlier than expected, after a very impressive rookie tournament in Traverse City and a strong preseason. Could Lardis do the same? Sure. Is it likely? No, but I do expect we'll see him at some point in the 2025-26 season. For more Chicago comparisons, Patrick Kane had 62 goals and 83 assists in his one OHL season, and walked right into the NHL as the No. 1 overall pick. Dave Bolland had 57 goals and 73 assists as a 19-year-old in the OHL and played one game in the NHL the following season. The only real conclusion I can draw from these numbers is that OHL goaltending stinks. Which Blackhawk, who played with the team before 2000, would you want on this current Blackhawks team in their prime? — JP G. This is where I get myself in trouble. I genuinely think every single player in the NHL right now is significantly better than the very best player on the planet in, say, the 1950s and 1960s. I don't think it's particularly close, either. MacKenzie Entwistle would skate circles around Rocket Richard. The game is virtually unrecognizable, and the year-round, life-long training has transformed these guys into near metahumans. So while the standard answer would be Stan Mikita, who, relative to his peers, is one of the greatest of all time (or Bobby Orr, if you want to be cheeky), I'd want someone from the 1990s. I'd pick 1991-94 Jeremy Roenick. Advertisement Montreal surprised everyone last season, and the Blue Jackets very nearly made the playoffs, too. What needs to go right for the Hawks to be in the mix rather than another year in the basement? — Andrew L. I won't be shocked if the Blackhawks are markedly better this season. I also won't be shocked if they're truly abysmal. But to really be in the playoff mix? It would have to involve Spencer Knight being a Vezina Trophy finalist. I don't see any other way.
