The national champion, Amarini Villatoro’s Xelajú MC signed a tie against Coatepeque, this in their first game after being eliminated from the Central American Cup.
The supergoat team hoped to find a balm in Mario Camposeco after the painful farewell on the international level, however, a goal by Gerson Tinoco in minute 88 for Xelajú and another by José Alvarado in minute 94 for Coatepeque left the game in a tie.
It was an entertaining match, both teams had approximations, however, everything was resolved until the end.
At 88′, Gerson Tinoco headed in a cross from Elmer Cardoza, with this he beat goalkeeper Luis Rivas and cheered his fans who thought he would keep the three points.
However, José Alvarado had the last word, since in minute 92 Mario Escobar considered that Juan Cardona had committed a foul inside the area and took a shot from the penalty spot.
It was in that action that Alvarado defined the center of the goal strongly, deceiving Calderón and putting the score at 1-1.
Earlier, Xinabajul Huehue and Cobán Imperial opened the fifth day of the Apertura 2023, the Huehuetenango team and the Alta Verapaz team signed an electric 3-3 tie.
In Saturday’s activity, Comunicaciones will receive Malacateco and Municipal will visit the Zacapa stadium.
