Here, we present the first calculation of coupled-channel meson-meson scattering in the isospin $=1$, $$G$$-parity negative sector, with channels $$\pi \eta$$, $$K\overline{K}$$ and $$\pi \eta'$$, in a first-principles approach to QCD. From the discrete spectrum of eigenstates in three volumes extracted from lattice QCD correlation functions we determine the energy dependence of the $$S$$-matrix, and find that the $$S$$-wave features a prominent cusp-like structure in $$\pi \eta \to \pi \eta$$ close to $$K\overline{K}$$ threshold coupled with a rapid turn on of amplitudes leading to the $$K\overline{K}$$ final-state. This behavior is traced to an $$a_0(980)$$-like resonance, strongly coupled to both $$\pi \eta$$ and $$K\overline{K}$$, which is identified with a pole in the complex energy plane, appearing on only a single unphysical Riemann sheet. Consideration of $$D$$-wave scattering suggests a narrow tensor resonance at higher energy.
