Motagua wiped out Marathon and landed him. Those of Héctor Vargas were not even the shadow of that team that stopped him with a harp at the Olimpia the previous week. What we saw this Wednesday in the first leg of the semifinals was a single team, Diego, who dominated with pleasure the duel they won 2-0 and leaves them alone for the closing of the series.
A double by Rubilio Castell was more than enough to come down from the cloud to the Monster that came on and courtship after the blow struck at the Olympia in the group final. A Bryan Johnson penalty kick that blocked the ball in the area in the style of basketball and a precise header from Castell after Emilio’s center, gave the advantage to the capital.
I’ll see. Review the MINUTE TO MINUTE OF THE Motagua-marathon GAME
Entering the game, Motagua goalkeeper Jonathan Rougier had no job, the verdolagas strikers stayed away from the area. Contrary to live Denovan Torres who had to save his goal on three clear opportunities that prevented the thrashing.
Rubilio started knocking early, had two clear headers that went into Torres’ hands. These were warnings that something was to come. 39 minutes into the game, Bryan Johnson had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Melvin Matamoros.
I’ll see. Pedro Troglio AND HIS COMPLAINTS AFTER TIE AGAINST LIFE
This goal ended the Monster’s defensive ideals, as he knew he could not open up to the blues that with the two-touch play of Galvaliz and Martinez, combined with the speed of Kevin Lopez and Rubilio Castell, could end as on the laps when they went stomach 4-0.
The first half was over and Rougier’s gloves were like he took them out of the bag, with nothing dirty. Edwin Solani did not approach the area, Marlon “Machuca” Ramirez tried but was well canceled out by Melendez and Decas who spent a good duel in the saga.
In the complement the party followed with the same scheme, dominion of the premises. Diego brought in Emilio Izaguirre, a tusk and experienced player and in the first action he had, he won the bottom line to Carlos Perdomo, sent a center with precision at the head of Rubilio Castell, who hammered it in the left Denovan Torres. Impossible to stop him and with that the party was sentenced.
Now everything was left to be defined on Sunday in San Pedro Sula. Marathon needs to win by three goals to reach the final and look for the champion. To win by two of difference, it would tie the series and it would be defined directly from penitentiary launchings, since in this instance of the match the position in the table is not worth.
