We’ve made it, y’all. It’s finally a match day in the (metro) A, and Atlanta United sits 90 minutes away from returning to the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals for the second time in two attempts.
The Five Stripes return from Honduras with a 1-1 draw that feels much more like a success than a failure, especially when considering the lineup tricks Frank de Boer needed to pull off with a thin roster. Despite conceding to Motagua first, Atlanta did not trail for long, as Josef Martinez (despite fighting an illness) equalized less than a minute after.
