In a game that saw a total of 35 goals scored, Denver came out on top at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado.
Atlanta would reclaim the lead during the third and fourth quarters, but were unable to seal the victory as Denver midfielder Zach Currier, who grabbed a rebound off of the cage and put it in the back of the net, scored with two seconds left in regulation. Currier had been held scoreless until that point.
Chris Madalon, who has been on fire (pun intended) this season, had a 17-save performance as he kept his league-leading save total alive.
