With the valuable contribution of Rodolfo Orellana, who scored a double, Santa Tecla achieved a 5-2 victory over Ahuachapán, which consolidates it in the classification zone of the National Football League Lottery Cup 2023-24.

Usulután, for its part, did not go beyond a goalless draw against San Miguel and was relegated in the table, while La Paz fell 1-2 at the Antonio Toledo Valle stadium against Cabañas, which extended its advantage in the lead.

Orellana made it 1-0 when 10 minutes into the game, and at 32′ he made it 2-0 which gave more confidence to the Tecleños, who two minutes later reached 3-0 through Diego Fermán.

At 60 minutes, Ahuachapán had a valuable opportunity to reduce the difference on the scoreboard, as Jeyson Estupiñán took charge of a penalty, but his shot was caught by goalkeeper Rodolfo Morales.

However, at 73 minutes, Estupiñán managed to vindicate himself and turned around, inside the area, to make it 3-1. Santa Tecla’s response came in the 82nd minute when Diego Velásquez made it 4-1 with a spectacular free kick, but Carlos Calderón reduced the numbers in the 86th minute by lowering the ball and shooting inside the area to make it 4-2.

At 88 minutes, Óscar Castro was in charge of sealing the score by shooting before the departure of the visiting goalkeeper and thus making it 5-2.

Meanwhile, at the Sergio Torres stadium, both Usulutecos and Migueleños shared the points by not going beyond a goalless draw, which relegated the ocelots who were reached by Santa Tecla, which also reached 40 points, while the garroberos achieved 54 units but they see how the bulls move away from them at the top of the classification by reaching 58 points.

In the Toledo Valle, Maycol Rivas made it 0-1 for the Cabañas bulls at 39 minutes, and Marcos Lemus, at 83 minutes, made it 0-2. Edwin Torres pulled one back to make it 1-2 four minutes from time, but his team no longer had time to react.
