Reigning Mexican champions (Atlante) top New England in Playa del Carmen on 3/6/2008

I really need to find out about these games BEFORE they happen so maybe I can go cheer for our team, Atlante! I'm not positive, but I think the game was actually in Cancun, and NOT Playa del Carmen.




Atlante captain Javier Munoz Mustafa scored in the 38th minute as the reigning Mexican champions defeated the New England Revolution, 1-0, on Thursday night in Playa del Carmen. In a physical match that saw nine cautions and three ejections, the single goal by Mustafa was all that decided the exhibition match between two of North America's top clubs.

The Revs had several early chances, but did not convert, and after two Revs and one Atlante player were sent off late in the second half, New England had one last chance in the final minute of regulation to earn the draw.
