Atlanta United Sweeps Up Another Win.

Josef Martinez scored on a penalty kick in the 65h minute after being stopped on his first attempt, and United gave MLS rare bragging rights over Liga MX by knocking off Club America 3-2 for the Campeones Cup on Wednesday night.

The matchup between the reigning MLS Cup champion and the Liga MX team that won the Campeon de Campeones last month was an entertaining, back-and-forth affair before 40,128 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, split nearly evenly between red-clad United fans and yellow-wearing America supporters.

Atlanta United grabbed an early lead, America surged ahead early in the second half, but the home team pulled off a comeback of its own to add another trophy to its case.

Atlanta came out on top against an America team that sent out all but one starter from the lineup used for its most recent Liga MX game.
