Guastatoya and Municipal close this Thursday the first leg of the quarterfinals at the David Cordón Hichos stadium, at 7:00 p.m., in a duel where the Rojos, led by Mario Acevedo, arrive as clear favorites, but will have to fight to get a good result away from home.
Municipal closed the regular phase as the most consistent team in the accumulated table with 86 points and second in the Clausura with 38 points, while Guastatoya finished seventh with 31 points and will seek to take advantage of its home status to surprise the powerful capital rival.
Guastatoya comes to this match in an unprecedented situation after the surprising resignation of his coach Pablo Centrone, confirmed just hours before the opening whistle by the president of the institution.
The Pecho Amarillo, who saved the category last Sunday with a 4-0 win against Marquense, will have to face one of the most important games of the season without their usual coach, with everything indicating that Luis Pedro Molina, goalkeeping coach, will take charge of the bench tonight. Municipal, for its part, arrives with the shooting and solidity of a team that was the most consistent of the year and that has enough arguments on its roster to fight for the Clausura 2026 title.
