The 2025 Leagues Cup was back in action once more in the wake of Liga MX enjoying a strong evening of results yesterday, including a huge win that saw minnows Mazatlán oust Houston in a 2-0 win.
With both Inter Miami and Club América in action tonight to lead the playbill, here is how the action broke down across some of the most intriguing fixtures.
Scorers: Angulo 10’, Ojeda 57’, Pašalić 90+12′; Cóccaro 49’
Red Card: Cóccaro 90+7′
Orlando City banked all three points during a hard-fought 3-1 win over Atlas at Inter&Co Stadium to make it four points from six in the Leagues Cup.
Early pressure by Orlando saw them open the scoring inside the first ten minutes of action with a composed finish from Iván Angulo, who netted his first goal since October 5th of last year.
A close-range headed goal from Matías Cóccaro would finally level the scoreline at one-all in the 49th minute, taking advantage of Orlando’s inability to find a second before the break.
Orlando would once again put themselves back up by a goal eight minutes later, however, with Martín Ojeda continuing his rich vein of form with a thunderous effort from inside the box.
The home side would extend their lead in the 12th minute of added time in the wake of Atlas being reduced to ten men when Marco Pašalić thumped an effort into the top corner from less than 18 yards out to put the result out of sight.
