Atlanta United fans may be experiencing deja vu after Wednesday night’s result against Club America. In the 2019 edition of the CONCACAF Champions League, Atlanta traveled down to Mexico for the first leg of the tournament quarter-final against Monterrey. At the time, Monterrey were dominating Liga MX. Atlanta made the trip south, only to return home with a 3-0 deficit. Fast forward to today and you can see a near-identical situation.
America scored early and often, beginning with Leonardo Suarez’s golazo in the 11th minute from outside the box. Just two minutes later, America shredded Atlanta’s defense and Henry Martin capitalized to make it 2-0.
