Xelajú MC and Municipal meet again this Saturday, May 23, at the Mario Camposeco stadium, in Quetzaltenango, to play the second leg of the Clausura 2026 grand final.
The Superchivos arrive with the obligation to overcome the 4-1 deficit in the first leg played in El Trébol, where Municipal dominated the second half after the expulsion of Jorge Aparicio and took an advantage that places it as a favorite to be crowned champion of the 2026 closing tournament.
Xelajú’s mission seems almost impossible on paper, but the superchiva fans have not lost faith. The club published the message on its social networks “I choose to believe” after the defeat in the first leg, a reflection of the spirit of a fan who trusts that Mario Camposeco can be the scene of a historic comeback.
Xelajú also confirmed that the General Sur seats for the second leg are completely sold out, in another example of the unconditional support of the Quetzaltecan fans for their team at the most difficult moment of the season. Tickets are still available in General Norte, Tribuna Norte and Tribuna Sur for those who wish to experience a night at the Mario Camposeco that promises to be historic for Chapín soccer, regardless of the final result.
