Pumas UNAM Edges Atlanta United in an Electric Leagues Cup Clash

If you tuned in for action, the Leagues Cup tie between Pumas UNAM and Atlanta United on August 3, 2025, did not disappoint. Both teams went toe-to-toe at Inter&Co Stadium, and the scoreline—3-2 in favor of Pumas—barely captures the drama out on the pitch.

The game started with a bang. Pumas drew first blood in the 23rd minute after Alvaro Angulo calmly slotted home a penalty, sending a clear message that they weren’t there just to make up the numbers. Atlanta responded in kind, leveling after Saba Lobjanidze put in a low cross that ricocheted off a Pumas defender for an own goal. Just before halftime, Atlanta’s Latte Lath fired them ahead, taking advantage of a high-tempo push and smart teamwork up front. But if Atlanta thought they could cruise to their first group stage win, Pumas had other ideas. The Mexican side responded with renewed energy after the break, capitalizing on defensive lapses and turning up the pressure. Two well-crafted second-half goals—each more vital than the last—flipped the match on its head and sealed the comeback. Atlanta was left chasing shadows, unable to find the sharpness needed to rescue a point.

This loss kept Atlanta winless in the Leagues Cup, piling more frustration on a team desperate for a deep run. Meanwhile, Pumas’ comeback win positioned them well for progression to the knockout rounds, signaling their intent in the competition.
