The Leagues Cup continues to deliver drama as Sunday’s slate of fixtures kicked off with a shock upset.
Atlanta United were the latest to be eliminated from the tournament at the hands of Santos Laguna.
The Liga MX side held the MLS club to a 0-0 draw before ultimately winning on penalties after Jamal Thiaré’s attempt was saved.
Stunningly, Santos Laguna have not won any of their last 12 fixtures (eight losses, four draws) but managed to survive in the tournament.
After losing both their Leagues Cup matches on penalties, Atlanta United will now go back to the drawing board.
