Well that was something else. The inaugural American Family Insurance Cup™ friendly against Pachuca was a fun, chaotic affair Tuesday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium that saw Atlanta United beat Pachuca 3-2 thanks to Dom Dwyer’s winning goal in the second half.
Atlanta got off to a rip-roaring start, Josef Martinez opened the scoring in the 5th minute and Luiz Araujo doubled the host’s lead just minutes later and Atlanta United seemed to be cruising.
But Pachuca answered with a goal off a corner (of course) and then followed it up with an equalizer created from their pressure on a simple build-up phase from Atlanta.
