– PREVIA –
Motagua – Olympiad meet tonight in the first leg of the semi-finals of Concacaf League at the Chelato Uclés National Stadium starting at 7:06 pm.
This Wednesday the capital of the country will overflow with energy, soccer and passion with the capital derby in a new edition to be played in an international tournament.
This will be the second tie in the competition between the two most successful clubs in Honduras. Let us remember that Olimpia eliminated Motagua in 2020 with goals from Maylor Núñez and Deiby Flores in the quarterfinals.
HOW DO THEY GET THERE?
The blue cyclone, who will be the “home club” for this first semifinal match, has just eliminated Tauro from Panama in an unforgettable series that culminated in penalty kicks following a terrifying 0-0 in 180 minutes.
In the case of Olimpia they had no problem tearing Cacique Diriangén of Nicaragua to pieces in a global that ended 7-2 for the albos.
LOW?
Regarding the issue of casualties, Hernán Medina, blue technical director, confirmed that central defender Marcelo Pereira will not be in the game and there are doubts regarding the appearance of midfielder Jesse Moncada.
On the part of the lions, who will not be for the derby is Josman Figueroa due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
