Atletico Madrid went full throttle Wednesday night to win 3-0 in Major League Soccer's annual summertime event, as the La Liga club persevered in the 2019 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target past the MLS All-Stars at a rain-soaked Exploria Stadium, the home of Orlando City.
Atletico’s quality produced a breakthrough in the 43rd minute, after Rodrigo Riquelme pulled off a beautiful backheel that pulled the All-Star defense apart. His pass found Marcos Llorente, who finished underneath Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake.
Boosted by wholesale substitutes in the 56th minute, Atletico then made it 2-0 in the 85th minute via a knuckling shot from Portuguese teenage sensation Joao Felix.
