with a 1-1 draw against TOLUCA DE MEXICO.
The Mexicans turned out to be a competitive & very aggresive side,
with an excellent defensive line that made things for the Spaniards
difficult throughtout the whole game. In fact Toluca scored first in the
58th min via PONCE, but LUIS GARCIA headed in the equalizer for
Atletico in the 65th min to at least save some pride.
In conclusion , a tough Mexican Tour for Atletico, with altitude, heat,
new squad members & less than desired physical form. Two loses &
two draws that is acceptable given the circumstances, that should help
fine tune the team which showed glimpses & moments of great football.
