Atlanta United win Campeones Cup over Club América

Atlanta United came from a goal down to earn a 3-2 win over Liga MX side Club América and win the 2019 Campeones Cup.

It took only five minutes for the match to have its first goal when a lovely pass from Dion Pereira connected with Emerson Hyndman to give Atlanta United the lead.

But having weathered the early storm, Club América found themselves equalized just moments later when Renato Ibarra finished off a Roger Martinez cross to put the score at 1-1.

In the 36th minute, a Jorge Sanchez blunder led to Bruno Valdez committing a foul inside the box.
