Atlanta United opened the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League with a rather unconvincing performance against Club América, conceding twice in the opening 15 minutes and 3 times in the first half to fall 3-0 at Estadio Azteca.
It didn’t take long for América to get on the scoreboard—as Leo Suarez scored an absolute banger in the 11th minute to put the hosts in front. Minutes later, Henry Martín found space behind the Atlanta defense and doubled the lead for Las Aguilas, while Bruno Valdez headed one home in the 36th on a corner routine for a third América goal.
