A lo Atlas won the Atlas in its presentation in the Leagues Cup, a tournament that pits the clubs of the American Major League Soccer (MLS) against those of the Liga MX, and in which the Rojinegros beat New York City FC at Citi Field thanks to a goal by its captain, Aldo Rocha.
It was just seven minutes into the first half that the Zorros took the lead at the Mets’ home when they got a corner kick down the left flank, where they made a set play charging short for Luis Reyes to hang the ball at the far post upon the arrival of a lone Rocha.

The ball from Hueso Reyes arrived measured at the position of his teammate, who took the New York defense asleep so that Rocha spliced it with his right leg, finishing off with a dive and although the goalkeeper Luis Barraza touched the ball, he could not deflect it and it ended up at the bottom of the goal for the 1-0, ultimately final.
New York City found the tie, but did not count
Already in the second half, New York City FC went for the equalizer, but was unsuccessful until minute 87, when Justin Haak found the ball in the red and black area to finish off with his right foot at the near post of the goal defended by Colombian Camilo Vargas and the stadium exploded with celebration.
But the joy vanished from the venue when the video arbitration review (VAR) appeared, because the whistling Bryan López, because Haak was caught offside before the auction, so there was no more and the end of the commitment was decreed. Thus, Atlas leads its group with three points, while New York City FC remains at zero, like Toronto FC, a squad that is waiting its turn.
