Deportivo Mixco and Municipal open the semifinal round of Clausura 2026 this Wednesday at the Santo Domingo de Guzmán Stadium at 3:00 PM in what promises to be one of the most attractive matches in the league.
Both teams reach this stage after overcoming their respective quarterfinals in very different ways: Mixco with a historic comeback by scoring two goals in the last two minutes against Cobán Imperial to advance for the best position in the table, while Municipal eliminated Guastatoya with solvency, closing the series with a 3-0 aggregate. The history between the two slightly favors the Reds with 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 wins for Mixco in the last 10 direct confrontations.
Mixco reaches this semifinal with the euphoria of a dramatic qualification against Cobán Imperial in the quarterfinals. A key fact for the Chicharroneros is that they have not lost in their last 7 home games in direct confrontations against Municipal, which makes Santo Domingo de Guzmán an important strength for Fabricio Benítez’s team ahead of the first leg of this semifinal.
Municipal, for its part, arrives as the favorite of the key as it is the most consistent team of the season in the accumulated table with 86 points and with the solidity that has characterized it throughout Clausura 2026. Mario Acevedo’s Reds arrive with five consecutive victories that reflect the great moment of form of the capital team, although with the significant loss of José Carlos Martínez due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. The second leg of this semi-final will be played on Saturday at the Manuel Felipe Carrera El Trébol Stadium.
