Atlanta United traveled to Honduras on Tuesday night for their first match of this year’s CONCACAF Champions League and earned an important 1-1 draw. Motagua opened the scoring in the 34th minute thanks to an unmarked Roberto Moreira volley at the far post. Josef Martinez linked up beautifully with Pity Martinez just a minute later to pull level. Both sides created a host of chances in the final 55 minutes but neither could capitalize on those chances and the match finished 1-1.
The Five Stripes should feel like winners after Tuesday night’s result, especially compared to their first CCL match in 2019, which was a 3-1 road loss to Costa Rican side CS Herediano.
