Como dizer "Contra-ataque" em inglês

Contra-ataque = counter attack
Existe o verbo também: Contra-atacar = to counterattack

A counter attack is a quick attacking play by a team who right before this was on the defensive. This team maybe is in a shell, packed in, and hunkered down against a top team and only trying to pull out the tie. Then the sun breaks through and with one fell swoop they're running on goal.
