The most important match in the fight for permanence ended with yellow chest victory. Guastatoya and Marquense faced themselves in David Cordón Hicos in a direct duel for salvation, but after a closed and very friction encounter, when the game was already savored the tie, Victor Armas marks the only goal of the game that can mean the permanence
After the stop by the FIFA date, this match meant a great opportunity for some to take advantage in the accumulated table. However, the tension was the dominant factor, with two teams that prioritized the defensive order on the offensive risk.
Guastatoya continues with an advantage over Marquense in the struggle for permanence. With this result, the yellow chest equipment remains in the tenth position with 34 points, while the lions add up to 29 units and remain eleven. At the moment, if the tournament ended today, Marquense would return to the First Division.
The game had few clear goal occasions and played mostly in the midfield. Both teams showed a lot of respect for the rival and chose not to risk too much.
In the final minutes, Guastatoya tried to propose a little more, but Marquense’s defense was well stopped to avoid any surprise. But it was until minute 90´+6 that the locals managed to open the door and score the goal of victory and the one that can mean permanence.
The result leaves both with the pressure to continue adding in the remaining days. For Marquense, each point is vital if you want to avoid the return to the First Division, while Guastatoya must take advantage of its advantage to stay out of the red zone.
The closure of the tournament is coming with maximum tension in the lower part of the table, and each match will be a final for these teams that fight to stay in the National League. The fight for permanence is more intense than ever.
