Match Report
Atletico Madrid won the 2019 Major League Soccer All-Star Game on Wednesday night underneath the rain as Marcos Llorente, Joao Felix and Diego Costa scored to secure a 3-0 win.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing only half an hour and the match delayed due to lightning, it was Diego Simeone's team that looked like the biggest threat most of the night as Los Colchoneros continued their preparation for the upcoming season.
Llorente, a midfielder who just joined Atleti from rival Real Madrid, scored the opener 43 minutes in, but it was Joao Felix who stole the show. The club's record transfer from Benfica of €120 million put the game away in the 85th minute.
Diego Costa then added a strike from close in the final minutes to complete the dominant victory, making it four straight wins for European teams against MLS All-Stars.
