Alajuelense I was going for glory and Real Estelifor the miracle: the end of return from Central American Cup 2023 It had its initial nuances very clear. The locals had won the first leg in Nicaragua by a categorical 3-0 and now they played the last 90 minutes of the contest with the peace of mind of knowing that they had an almost decisive advantage. On the contrary, the Nicaraguan team was forced to make a historic comeback to snatch the title from the popular Costa Rican team.
Of course, this did not happen: there was tie in a goal and consecration of the Ticos as tournament champions.

This was Alajuelense vs. Real Estelí, live
Full Time! Liga Deportiva Alajuelense wins the series 4-1 on aggregate and is the first champion of the Central American Cup! The Costa Rican team also qualifies directly for the round of 16 of the Concachampions 2024. Real Estelí, with an enormous performance in this Cup, will play Phase One of the next Champions Cup.
Minute 90. Two more minutes will be played. Campbell throws a great tunnel at Balanta. He might well have gotten into trouble if the rivals had taken the action as an offense, but he apologized and did not go any further.
Minute 89. Balanta knocks down the entered Mora, who was trying to avoid him to go in front of goal, and receives a yellow card.
Minute 86. Juan Luis Pérez enters Alajuelense; who comes out is Zúñiga.
Minute 78. Another change, one that proves that there is not much left for the visit: replacement of defenders between the outgoing Martínez and the incoming Leyvin Balante.
Minute 77. After several clear missed opportunities, Estelí now seems on its way to capitulating.
Minute 73. Change in the visit: Barrera leaves for Ewerton Da Silva to enter.
Minute 68. Another double change in the Alajuela team: Carlos Mora and Doryan Rodríguez enter for Navarro and Góndola.
Minute 66. You can’t believe what Medina fails! Great play by Byron Bonilla that overflows from the left, the ball is brought down to Medina and he finishes with his left foot almost on the penalty spot: the ball goes deflected to the goalkeeper’s right in an unbeatable opportunity.
Minute 55. Double change in an Alajuelense that seeks to awaken: Alexander López and Celso Borges for Michael Barrantes and Aarón Suárez, respectively.
Minute 52. Flirt with the second Estelí! Medina’s cross from the right, Fletes’ header to the far post and spectacular save by the local goalkeeper.

Minute 46. Goal from Real Estelí! Nicaragua finally scores! Fabián Monserrat makes a great maneuver on the right side, reaching the area, feinting the shot with his right to hook inwards and take the left-footed shot, low to the far post. There is a great stretch by goalkeeper Moreira but the clearance is not far enough: the ball stays alive in the six-yard box and Byron Bonilla dives to connect and score the tie.

Minute 45. The second half begins! Abel Méndez enters through Monserrat during the visit. Another forward to seek the feat.
Minute 45+2. End of the first part! Alajuelense took the advantage too soon, gave Estelí a cold water bath and left the final almost resolved in their favor. Credit for the visit because he did not give himself in adversity. Will there be more emotions in the second half?
Minute 40. Josué Quijano, the visiting right back, kicks Góndola tremendously and earns the yellow card.
Minute 39. Juan Barrera misses an incredible goal! Goalkeeper Moreira saves by throwing a header to his left from close range by his rival, who might not give him a slightly more cornered direction. Unbeatable opportunity almost in the small area and without opposition for those from Nicaragua.
Minute 31. Shot once morest the Estelí crossbar! The visiting team plays a worthy role with an attitude that says “we will play as if the aggregate did not exist.”
Minute 27. Save Forvis to Estelí! Campbell received from the right and entered the area, but the goalkeeper blocked well, narrowed the angle and saved with a very good low dive when the attacker was looking to place the left-footed shot low and at the far post.
Minute 25. Individual maneuver by Bonilla who releases himself from the left, adjusts to finish with his right and chooses the first post: his low shot goes quite close. It might well have been the tie, although it would have been the product of a flash rather than a great collective effort.
Minute 20. The visit would have only one option in this context: to attack with desperation seeking to discount as soon as possible. That, of course, would expose him to an even greater catastrophe. Estelí’s choice, judging by what is happening on the field, seems to be to move forward with the greatest possible dignity and not see themselves further beaten.
Minute 12. How long the game will be! If Estelí had any hope, they have been dissipated in the blink of an eye. The will of the Nicaraguan team is not enough once morest local dominance.
Minute 5. Goal from Alajuelense! Joel Campbell scores! At the exit of a corner the defense combs the ball without being able to clear it and it crosses the entire small area so that, at the second post, the former English Arsenal striker appears to push the ball with the empty goal, stretch the advantage and practically leave history defined in just a breath.
