Atlas TriumphantWith two goals by Marioni and an own goal by Julio César Cáceres Atlas regains the top spot in group 3 in the Copa Libertadores. More importantly, no matter what the result from UA Maracaibo and Colo Colo’s game Atlas will remain on top with 10 points. The final score was Atlas 3 - 1 Boca Juniors.

Hopefully this will help reassure an Atlas team that’s been a little iffy in the Mexican tournament. Their next game is against Santos, who currently leads group 2. However, morale is usually a key factor in these games and I’m hoping Atlas will come into the game against Santos with more confidence after having beaten Boca Juniors and is able to walk away with all three points.

There is only one game left in the group stage of Copa Libertadores, which means that Atlas should be able to move on to the next round. However, Atlas can’t ease up too much because as experience shows even sure things can slip away.
