Atlanta United dominated proceedings at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League tie versus Monterrey, controlling 63% possession and making 513 successful passes to Monterrey’s 272.
However, a first-half Josef Martinez chance aside, it took a second-half rally for the home side to really start testing the Mexicans at the back and, ultimately, it all came a little too late. That said, a 1-0 win over a Liga MX team should never be ignored and it’s certainly a huge morale boost for Frank de Boer, who has come in for heavy criticism this week.
