Atalanta United snatch stunning win over Inter Miami
It was Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami who took the first game with a 2-1 win. And in the second game, it was David Martinez who gave Miami a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute of the game. A terrible mistake from Brad Guzan and Martinez followed it through. Back in the second half, Derrick Williams equalized for Atalanta bringing the game to a stalemate.
And then the final blow came in the 94th minute when Xande Silva pulled of a goal out his hat to bring the contest to a level tie.
“Words can’t describe it, they’re such a resilient group. I said to the team before the game it’s everybody together, it’s not going to be one person. And then a substitute comes on and wins us the game,” said Atalanta United coach Rob Valentino after the game.
