After an initial key, which ended without scoring the previous Thursday at the Cementos Progreso stadium, Sebastián Bini’s men managed to dethrone the current national monarch.
Let’s remember that not even the swerve that the albos hit in the middle of the contest, when they replaced Iván Sopegno, by the Uruguayan Willy Olivera was enough for them to consecrate themselves once more.
Three goals were enough for the councilors to send their eternal rival to rest, the work of Ramiro Rocca, José Carlos Martínez and Pedro Altán, so they are in the grand final of the second semester in our country.
Rocca was in charge of opening the scoring with a penalty when we had not reached 10 minutes. It should be noted that Walter López ordered the penalty following Rocca shot at the hands of Stiwar Mena.
After that, at the restart, the scarlet footballer, Pedro Altán, began to stand out by assisting his teammate, the skinny Martínez, who doubled the lead for Bini’s team in the 46th minute. After helping Martínez stop the white goalkeeper, Fredy Pérez, Altán once once more showed his quality, eliminating Mena and with his least capable leg, the right, he sealed the final 3-0 once morest the staunch rival.
It is worth mentioning that, on Saturday night, Antigua and Mixco fought in an exciting duel, which saw the green bellies take the lead through José Gálvez, which equalized the series, sending them to overtime and then to penalties. Jonathan Pozuelos, later, decided the round in favor of the Mixqueños who will now play the first final in their history once morest Municipal.
