Talking about this game will be a bit unique, as we are not used to reviewing a classic like this game was. A real match. A derby in the capital like few others. Football was played from the first minute until +6 that Selvin Brown add.
The confrontation started electric and in minute 2 ‘Jerry Bengtson already began to forgive the eagles. A ball preceded by the defender but Edwin Rodríguez hit the post.
The blues began to touch the ball and did so going from bottom to top advancing with Juan Ramón Gómez, who spent a game, but ran into another ant walking unstoppable; José Mario Pinto.
The first goal came in the 7th minute. Josuè Villafranca took possession of the ball after a miscued clearance by the defense and capitalized fully on the mistake to make it Carlos Pineda. Belar took the lead and beat Edrick Menjívar.
After that, Olympia dared more and woke up. Pinto and Yustin Arboledo tried it with violent shots but the luck of the band was feathered until in the 24 ‘the Olympic tie fell.
Félix Crisanto took advantage of the space provided by Omar Elvir and with a fairly prologue center arrived properly at the head of Yustin Arbreda who took advantage of the warm mark of Marcelo Pereira and put the confrontation equal.
The match was electrifying. The fans who arrived enjoyed a real sports dish. The classics are played head to head and that made all the protagonists of this match.
In the 28th minute Motagua arrived again, this time with a header from Juan Delgado that hit the right parallel of Edrick Menjívar’s goal and to end the first half Carlos Pineda wanted to wash his image and he try with a shot that Jonathan Rougier will have to demand and send the ball to the last line.
AN EXCITING SECOND TIME
This time Diego Vázquez did not back down and starting the complement stage to send “Colocho” Martínez and “Muma” Fernández to the track. However, in 59 ‘came the Old Lion with a demon-possessed individual action of José Martio Pinto. The little demon served the ball to Yustin Arbreda and got the goal, but in an advanced position. It was canceled.
And after several arrivals and little effectiveness in front of the frame, the owl Cristopher Meléndez armed himself with courage and from a long distance took a very strong shot that despite the reaction of Menjívar was embedded in the Olympic goal. Motagua’s goal in the 67th minute!
The arrivals of the cyclone by the right sector were continuous, “Muma” Fernandez returned to take like freeway this sector in another classic one against Olimpia and to Pedro Troglio it did not have left of another one than to rearm his zone of defense before the blue attacks.
In the 77th minute Olimpia scored again but offside, this time Félix Crisanto had sent the ball deep into the net, but two minutes later Motagua began to settle the dispute.
The Argentine Diego Auzqui, who was already on the court and was making his debut with Motagua, managed the goal play. In spite of the “cariñitos” of the Olympians after stealing the round, he ran with the ball and it was sent to the “Muma” by his sector and sent a masterful center so that the “Colocho” Martinez only got to close the clamp and put on celebrating in the blue village.
And although the game was 3-1 in favor of Motagua, Olimpia was not intimidated. The hairy ones removed forces of weakness and they went to the front, this was harmed to them in a motagüense advance that almost crystallizes Roberto Moreira.
While Motagua forgave the 90 + 4, in the next play Olimpia found the formula of the final 3-4.
