In a key match for the fight in the accumulated table, Guastatoya achieved a fundamental victory by imposing 1-0 over Mixco, a result that allows him to continue dreaming of the permanence in the major league. With a goal from Bryan Morales at minute 24, the Yellow Chest team added three vital points in his fight to avoid the descent.
From the start, Guastatoya showed greater intensity and took the initiative of the party. With a more aggressive game and constant pressure, visitors were the ones who most sought the rival arch in the first minutes. That insistence had its reward when, at minute 24, Bryan Morales charged a free kick with precision and beat the Mixco goalkeeper, unleashing the joy of the visiting team.
After the goal, Guastatoya maintained control of the game and generated several opportunities to expand the advantage, but the lack of forcefulness prevented the score from moving before the break. The chicharoneros, meanwhile, did not find clarity in their game and showed many inaccuracies, which caused the obvious discomfort of the Technician Fabricio “Chapa” Benítez, who was frustrated with the performance of his led.
In the second half, the chicharronero team came out with another attitude and took the initiative in search of the draw. The locals advanced lines and began to press with greater intensity, generating several danger arrivals. However, the Guastatoyano archer Adrián de Lemos had a great performance, remaining firm under the three sticks and ensuring that his team retained the advantage.
As the minutes advanced, Guastatoya retreated, betting on defensive order and trying to close the spaces to prevent Mixco from finding the way to match the score. Despite the attempts of the local team, the goal of the draw never arrived and the visitors managed to sustain the result to the final whistle.
The triumph represents an important respite for Guastatoya, who remains in the fight for permanence and now appeals to a combination of results in the remainder of the tournament to avoid the descent. Victory allows them to add confidence for the next days, where each point will be key in the battle to stay in the major league.
On the Mixco side, the defeat leaves worrying sensations, since it cannot neglect the accumulated table. Although it still has room, chicharroneros must improve their performance if they do not want to complicate in the last dates of the tournament.
The last time Guastatoya had won at the Santo Domingo stadium was in 2022.
