The two-time Mexican football champion showed its strength and defeated Chivas de Guadalajara by a narrow margin in a friendly match at SeatGeek Stadium in Chicago, United States. In the beginning of the first half, Atlas had great goal opportunities, but Chivas' defense was able to contain the danger.
In the second half of the game, Quiñones took advantage of a defensive error and scored the only goal of the match for the preseason. Diego Cocca's team's defensive lines regrouped and made changes to avoid total exhaustion of their starters. With this result, the current champions of the Liga MX enter the new season with the hope of achieving a national three-peat.
