Atlanta United didn’t let any of us relax through a nervy second leg of its Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 matchup against LD Alajuelense, but in the end the Five Stripes did enough to secure advancement to the quarterfinals with a 2-0 win on aggregate.
Player Ratings
GK Rocco Rios Novo 6: Made a big save in a crucial moment late in the match that easily could have been a goal if not for some quick reflexes. His distribution was decent — some good and some bad. Overall he didn’t have a ton to do in the game, but it was a solid performance from a young player in a big situation.
