Atlanta United concludes its participation in the inaugural edition of Leagues Cup after a 1-1 draw followed by a penalty shootout defeat against Cruz Azul secured the Five Stripes’ elimination.
After a catastrophic loss to Inter Messi Miami, Gonzalo Pineda made several changes to the starting XI. The first is a return to the back four with Ronald Hernandez and Caleb Wiley as fullbacks and a Miles Robinson-Luis Abram center back pairing. The next is a three-man midfield with Tristan Muyumba making his debut alongside Matheus Rossetto and Amar Sejdic. Thiago Almada seems to be playing as a left winger and Brooks Lennon moves up to right wing.
