Atlético La Unión defeated Cuscatleco 3-0 at the Marcelo Imbers Stadium and is fighting for eighth place with Alacranes at the beginning of matchday 24 of the National Football League Lottery Cup 2023-24.
The porteños defined the match with practical and effective football. The Unionense team opened the scoring in the 8th minute with the goal from Denis Reyes in a good individual maneuver inside the area, after a shot from midfield and on Axcel García’s mark.
The hosts increased the score in the 36th minute with a great individual action by Jhan Carlos Asprilla on the right, where he took off the goalkeeper and inflated the net with a powerful shot.
Cuscatleco only generated one header from German Obando in the first 45 minutes and their effort was focused on avoiding going into the break with a rout.
In short, it was a comfortable game for the local team that generated opportunities to give harsher punishment to the visitors, but their forwards were not fine.
For example, at minute 24, Fernando Rotelo advanced from the left, took off the goalkeeper, but could not define in front of the goal and opted for a diagonal that allowed the defense to react.
The third goal came via penalty after a foul by Bryan Fernando Cruz on Rotela that he himself took in the 54th minute.
With the result, Cuscatleco is left with 10 points and in last place in the general classification table.
From the 63rd minute, both teams played with 10 men on the field due to the expulsion of Walter Maldonado, in the case of La Unión, and Anderson Henríquez, from Cuscatleco.
At the Correcaminos Stadium, Morazán lost 0-4 against San Vicente, which recovered points and reacts after the setback suffered on the previous date against La Unión.
The victory of the Vicentino team was assured by Geovany Velasco, at minute 3; José Quiñones, at 20′, and Franklin Rivas, at 24′, for a 3-0 in the first half.
The camotero team consolidated its dominance with another score by Rivas in the 59th minute.
With these three points, San Vicente will remain in box 11 for another week with 20 points, while Morazán remains in 12th place with 13 points.
