Atlanta United defeats Celaya F.C. 2-1 in preseason friendly

Atlanta United and Club Celaya faced off in a preseason friendly on Sunday in Guadalajara, Mexico as the Five Stripes continue to prepare for the 2022 MLS season.

Atlanta United made three changes to the group that started against the Georgia Revolution in Athens last Sunday. Josef Martinez and Ronald Hernandez replaced Jackson Conway and Aiden McFadden respectively after returning from international duty with Venezuela, while Alex de John stepped in for Alan Franco, who is in “health and safety protocols.”

And here’s Celaya’s stating lineup. According to Jason Longshore on the club’s livestream of the scrimmage, the numbers on the Celaya jerseys were small and on the front of the jersey.
