After the surprising defeat against Morazán on the previous date, Atlético La Unión reacted with a 2-1 victory against San Vicente at the Jiboa Stadium, while at the Sensuntepeque Sports Center, Cabañas beat Sonsonate 5-0 at the close of the matchday 23 of the National Football League Lottery Cup 2023-24.

The Unionense team was left with the three points thanks to Fernando Rotela’s goal in the 85th minute and in a very even match that the Buenos Aires team began winning with Luis Ramírez’s goal in the 17th minute.

San Vicente equalized the actions with a goal from Yan Carlos Martínez, in the 77th minute, but the hope of staying with at least one point disappeared in the last five minutes of play when they were surprised for the second time by the Unionenses.

Thus, Atlético La Unión remains firm in ninth place with 29 points and manages to add away from home.

Bulls do not give up the lead

With the unconditional support of their fans, the red and white team finished the match in a first half in which it was practical and forceful. The first score came in the 4th minute through Samuel Amaya.

It was the same Amaya who extended the score with a solid shot in the 13th minute to make the score 2-0 against a coconut team that had a hard time reaching the Sensuntepecano team’s area clearly.

The third was a great goal from Rodrigo Rivera who received a pass in the area to which he only directed it into the net with a fine touch in the 39th minute.

In the win, the contribution of Colombian Yefferson Palacios could not be missing, who scored the fourth and fifth goals at 80 and 89.

With the victory, Cabañas fulfilled his role as favorite and regains the leadership that dawned in the hands of San Miguel, relegated today to second place with 53 units against 55 of the bulls.

For the Westerners it was the eleventh defeat in the current tournament and they stagnate in box 10 of the general classification with 21 points, in addition to seeing their streak of three games without defeat broken.

In the basement duel, La Paz beat Cuscatleco 2-0 and exchanged last place for penultimate in the general classification table of the National Football League (LNF).

It was the fourth victory for the owls, who accumulate 12 points and are now penultimate in the table.

La Paz’s victory was led by Álex Alemán, who scored 1-0 at minute 27 and Edwin Piedrahita Torres sealed the victory at minute 79.

For Cuscatleco it was the seventeenth defeat and they still cannot find the consistency they had in the previous tournament.
