For the Sailfish, the result is adverse and not only in view of the 2023 Clausura Tournament and its league, but also because they are now in relegation places in the accumulated. With Achuapa’s victory and the loss at Pensativo, Iztapa is eleventh in the fight for relegation on goal difference once morest Mixco. The Chicharroneros might take advantage of the accumulated in case they tie or defeat Cobán Imperial this Sunday.
The goal festival in Antigua
The king of soccer, the goal, did not take long to appear in the Colonial City and at minute 6′ Cristian Hernández opened the scoring following a subtle pass from Carlos Mejía. The colonial advantage was extended following 22 minutes at the feet of Óscar Castellanos, ‘Coca’ surprised the rival goalkeeper with a long-distance shot.
When everything seemed that the road would lead to a local win, Iztapa put on his best clothes and just one minute following ‘Coca’ scored, Jonathan Diéguez beat Braulio Linares with a low shot. The first part would not have enough goals and at 41′ Romario Da Silva extended the local victory to 3-1, a result with which they went to rest.
In the second half it was the Sailfish who struck first. At 56′ a pass into space was taken advantage of by Cristian Albirzures and with a shot to the furthest stick from Linares, he tightened the score making it 3-2. All chances of a comeback were snuffed out by Carlos Mejía, who following a series of rebounds found a cross from Óscar Castellanos and volleyed to make it 4-2.
As every story has its end, the first scorer of the match was also the one who sealed the win. Cristian Hernández at 74′ finished off from the edge of the area and, despite Javier Irazún’s stretch, scored with a great goal, which hit the post, the final 5-2. The defeat was a hard blow for the visit, which is getting closer to relegation.
