Apulo Ilopango achieved its second straight victory after defeating its counterpart from Costa del Sol 6-1 in the last game of group B in the fourth edition of the Beach Soccer League CEL Cup 2024.
The goals came in the second period with an outstanding performance by José Escobar, who finished with three decisive scores to secure the points for the Ilopaneco team.
Juan Navarrete was the one who opened the way to victory with his first goal five minutes into the second roll, then it was Escobar’s turn to make it 2-0.
The victory was achieved until the last period with another goal from Navarrete and Gabriel Reyes. José Escobar secured the result with two more scores on his account. The only score for the La Paz team was signed by Cristian González.
For Costa del Sol it was the second slap after yesterday losing 5-6 against Joya Grande and now it has to row against the current for the next dates.
The Joya Grande team also maintained its firm pace, which today defeated Rayos del Bajo Lempa with a 6-2 at the Costa del Sol National Stadium, which hosted the actions of group B.
With three goals, Saúl Aguillón promoted the victory against the representative of San Vicente, a result that also had the support of Julio López, with two goals, and Jerry López with one score.
Vladimir Reyes and Abraham Aguilar were the scorers for the Vicentino team that already has two defeats.
San Marcelino celebrated its first victory by beating La Herradura 10-2, in the new derby of the department of La Paz. San Marcelino took full advantage of some facilities given by the debutant team in the Beach Soccer League to add its first three points and managed to recover from the setback it suffered yesterday against Apulo Ilopango 6-2.
Dennis Martínez, Wilber Navarrete and Daniel Alvarado managed to score twice and Eleazar Miranda, Andrés Osorio, Mario Soriano and Marcos Tejada also scored in the win.
For La Herradura it was the first fall, after giving the surprise on Saturday with the 8-5 victory against Rayos del Bajo Lempa. The only goals for La Herradura were scored by Noé Cruz and José Montano.
Shared leadership in group A
Barra de Santiago and Barra Ciega added their second consecutive victory today and share first place in group A with six points each, and have a good start in the 2024 CEL Cup Beach Soccer League.
Barra Ciega beat Teotepeque 7-5 on the Barra de Santiago court and reached six points, which are good for fighting for first place in group B along with the two-time champions who also have two consecutive wins.
Barra Ciega did not have its captain, Kevin Criollo, for this match but showed good collective functioning although it relaxed in the final stretch of the game.
The coconut trees went ahead on the scoreboard with goals from Rudy Lara, a double from Josué Morán and Diego de León
The Sonsonateco team faced the final stretch of the third round with a five-goal advantage and a tired opponent. The effort of the La Libertad team only translated into three more goals that were scored by Daniel Ventura, who scored twice, and Ronald Orellana’s tantra for 7-5.
The BS UES team maintained its fierce team profile and beat Garita Palmera 9-8 in overtime and added its first two points in the men’s group A of the Beach Soccer League.
It was another complicated game for the university students who led 7-4 with two minutes left to close the third period, but the Ahuachapanecos took the game to overtime with a double from Carlos Puquir and a great goal from Rafael Rizo to make it 7-7.
In extra time, the Scarlets secured the victory with a goal from Edwin Hernández and Rogelio Rauda, while Carlos Puquir scored for Garita, who scored his fifth goal, but this time it was not enough for his team to avoid the first defeat in the LFP.
“We had the game and we trusted each other, but beach soccer is like that. We played the game and we have in mind to push in all the games,” said Rauda, scorer of three goals against the Ahuachapanecos.
In the third game of the day in the west, Barra de Santiago took advantage of the rookie advantages that San Salvador gave him to score the second win in a row with a score of 11-4.
The two-time champions made their home team count with a hat trick from Ernesto Castro plus doubles from Jonathan Jiménez and Frank Velásquez. Yahir Pérez, Rafael Arana, Darwin Ramírez and W. Fuentes contributed to the account of the Ahuachapanecos.
On the capital’s side, Emerson Vásquez, Enrique Roscala and Héctor Vides scored, hitting the net twice.
Thus, the team led by Homer Velásquez also has a good start to the league with two victories in a row since in its debut it won 6-5 against BS UES.
