The Motagua is the new leader of Opening tournament following snatching the top from Olympiad with a lethal blow from the Argentine Mauro Ortiz at minute 89. The capital derby ended 1-0 and Ciclón Azul reached 17 points while León kept 16.
In an excellent environment Chelato Uclés National Stadium With a rainy night, the two clubs quickly put their cards on the table.
The previous one called for a great game and the protagonists were not left in debt. In the first minute it was a shot by Bryan Moya where Jonathan Rougier had to stop in two periods. The Blue Cyclone went on the attack and dominated in the continuous minutes. The whites were attentive to the speed of their attack.
Michaell Chirinos tried it with a right hand in front of the goal and elevated it, missing the opportunity to open the scoring.
At minute 12, a bad start by José García, Héctor Castellanos went on the attack, centered Juan el “Camellito” Delgado, but he did not give him a good direction and the containment lost it.
Motagua He continued to lock up the Lion and demanded a penalty when “Chino” López crashed into Jerry Bengtson. The referee Armando Castro acted correctly by not sanctioning him.
The capital derby turned back and forth, without respite. Ángel Tejeda came close to scoring with a header and on the other side Jerry Bengtson finished off where Rougier was once once more key.
Brayan Moya missed, Marcelo Santos avoided it with his slide and then the ball hit his left hand, the action continued and Armando Castro made another good decision.
And then, “Chino” managed it, with a shot placed by the goalkeeper Edrick Menjívar stretched as hard as he might to get the goal cry out of the striker. It was a first time of excellent quality and delivery.
Things changed in the complementary part. The wear was less, but the intelligence was present on the pitch.
“Camellito” preferred to finish off the frame without success and not give the pass to Tejeda, who arrived well outlined.
The “Tota” Medina took out the “Chino” and sent the Argentine Mauro Ortiz to the field. The Ciclón lost its danger and coach Pedro Troglio decided to have more of the ball with Jorge Álvarez and always verticality with José Mario Pinto. The plan didn’t work.
José García let her go in front of Rougier’s cabin, the one who did not forgive was Mauro in the first one he had.
The León fell asleep at 89, Marcelo Santos took the sideline, Christopher Meléndez crossed, an André Orellana who asked out of place, clearly unfocused in the action, so that the guacho might finish off at will to send it to the networks despite the fact that Menjívar tried to take it out
The Argentine striker, Motagua’s last signing, who arrived in the country on August 9 and since then little or nothing was known regarding him, tonight made his triumphant entry into the ring of the greats scoring the goal that puts Motagua first and step takes away the undefeated Olimpia.
It should be noted that it is the second game of the Argentine striker in Honduran soccer and in both entering the game and thus the end of the classic came and Motagua rises to the top at the expense of Olimpia.
