Atlanta United played FC Motagua to a 1-1 draw Tuesday night at Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in Leg One of its Round of 16 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League matchup. Josef Martinez opened his season account with an equalizer in the 35th minute, while Brad Guzan made five saves – all in the second half – to preserve the tie.
Motagua scored the opening goal in the 34th minute from Roberto Moreira, who volleyed a cross from the right side from Felix Crisanto past a diving Brad Guzan.
But Atlanta responded one minute later as Josef Martinez and Pity Martinez combined in attack.
