Will they be able to get the blow ?. It is not the first time that Vida has to face a series after having equalized in the first leg. His history reminds him that it has happened to him on two occasions.
The memories of these instances are not at all pleasant for the coconut trees, since in their two opportunities they were eliminated: Olimpia and Honduras Progrés.
The first opportunity was curiously against the meringue team in the Clausura 2009-2010 tournament, where it was tied 2-2 in La Ceiba and in the return match was tied 1-1, but Vida was eliminated for worse position in the classification table.
The second time they dreamed of a step to the final was in the 2015-2016 Opening, this time against Honduras Progrés, where they equalized 0-0 in the first leg and in the return they fell 1-0.
This Sunday they are going for their third challenge and that is why they will have to beat Olimpia if they want to advance to the grand final. The engagement is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at the National Stadium.
