The border team opened the scoring through Marlon Chun, who took advantage of a collective play to beat the rival goalkeeper and give his team confidence in the first half. Subsequently, Frank de León expanded the advantage with a shot that secured the triumph for the bulls, which they needed to celebrate in front of their hobby.
With this victory, Malacateco breaks the streak without winning at home and takes a break in the table, where it seeks to climb positions after an irregular start. Guadalupe Cruz’s proposal begins to give results, especially in defensive order and forcefulness in the key moments of the meeting.
For his part, Achuapa failed to impose conditions on border territory and suffered a defeat that leaves him with the need to react in the next days. The “onions” had few clear opportunities and did not find the formula to overcome the local rear, returning home empty -handed.
The Malacateco coach, José Guadalupe Cruz, ordered a 4-4-2 formation with Miguel Jiménez in the Arch; Marlon Chun, Brayan Morales, Víctor Torres and Vidal Paz on the defensive line; Kenneth Cerdas, Franklin Quinteros, José Ortiz and Ángel López in the middle; and José Franco and Joshua Trigueño in the attack.
For their part, those conducted by Martín García were planted with a 4-5-1 strategy with Ederson Cabezas under the three sticks; Randall Corado, Carlos Castrillo, Dayron Suazo and Kevin Castillo in Defense; Isaiah of León, Yeison Carabali, Vitor Alves, Erick Sánchez and Alexis Matta in the middle of the court; and Agustín Maziero in the lead.
The match at the Santa Lucía stadium was led by referee Orlando Alvarado.
For the next date, Malacateco will visit Aurora FC. On the other hand, Achuapa will receive Xelajú.
The place is in the tenth first place with 5 points, while the visitor reached 10 units and is placed in fifth place in the tournament.
