Union BerlinNets opener
Latte Lath scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Latte Lath opened the scoring early in the first half and struggled to get involved in the rest of the match. His only shot on goal ended up in the back of the net but he struggled outside of that finish. The efficiency is certainly nice, but without more volume it's hard to trust Latte Lath to be a consistent threat in the future.
Loaned to Union Berlin
Latte Lath has completed a loan move to Union Berlin from Atlanta United, according to his new club.
Analysis: Latte Lath is on the move after his unsuccessful stint in MLS play with Atlanta, as he will now serve in Germany with Berlin after time in Italy, Switzerland, England and the USA. As said before, hsi ome and a half season in MLS play was disappointing, as he only recorded nine goals and three assists between his 44 appearances (35 starts), a major step down from the 11 goals in 29 appearances he earned with Middlesbrough in the season before joining Atlanta. This should give Union Berlin a new useful option at forward while making Ilyas Ansah and Andrej Ilic fight for time at forward. On the other hand, Atlanta will likely deploy either Fafa Picault or Aleksey Miranchuk up front.
Inactive amid transfer discussions
Latte Lath didn't play in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Charlotte as a precaution while the club negotiated his potential move away from the team, Sydney Hunte of Scarves and Spikes reports.
Analysis: Latte Lath could be close to leaving Atlanta and could not see action again for the squad if they finalize a transfer during the summer window. He scored two goals and added two assists during the 2026 MLS season before dropping to a limited role for the last few games. Fafa Picault was used as a striker in the last game versus Charlotte, though it remains unclear whether that will be the case again in future contests or if Atlanta will bring a new signing to take Latte Lath's place on the roster if he ends up departing.
Back from illness
Latte Lath (illness) is not an injury report and should be an option for Atlanta moving forward, according to the MLS injury report.
Analysis: Latte Lath was dealing with an illness ahead of the break, but after multiple weeks off, the forward has obviously recovered after being left off the injury report. He has started in 10 of his 13 appearances this season while bagging two goals and two assists, so he will likely return to the starting XI in most matches.
Status uncertain due to illness
Latte Lath is at risk of missing Sunday's game against Columbus Crew after picking up an ailment, the league reported Saturday.
Analysis: Latte Lath is no longer a guaranteed starter, and his role is likely to remain limited if he doesn't regain health before the World Cup break. In that case, the forward will be unable to increase his totals of two goals and two assists over 13 league matches played this season. While Cayman Togashi offers a natural alternative, Aleksey Miranchuk has also been deployed as a striker a few times in recent contests.
Scores goal
Latte Lath scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over CF Montreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 4th minute.
Analysis: Latte Lath was back in a starting role after two bench appearances in a row and made the time count, scoring a goal in stoppage time of the first half. This gives the forward his second goal of the season, also with two assists. He is now up to nine goals in his two seasons with the club, having yet to break the double-digit mark.
Shotless in loss
Latte Lath created one chance and suffered one foul in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Nashville SC.
Analysis: Latte Lath was held without a shot, marking back-to-back home outings without getting off a shot. Atlanta's primary striker has just one goal on the season, something he'll look to change in Wednesday's home clash with New England.
