On Sunday, April 3, the 2 teams with the most championships won in the National Soccer League. The white box of Communications will receive the red team of Municipalat 5:00 p.m., in the Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadiumboth with the slogan of adding points to snatch the leadership of the Clausura 2022 Tournament from the Malacateco bulls.
Despite the achievements at the international level, the team led by Willy C. Olivera has the need to seek victory against its greatest rival, since in its last match it suffered a defeat against Cobán Imperial (1-4). For its part, the Municipal team, led by Professor Saturnino Cardozo, will seek to get closer to Malacateco, who is at the top of the table.
The cream team is preparing to equal the reds in classic victories.
In the last match played by both teams, Municipal achieved victory (2-0), with goals from Matías Rotondi at minutes 23 and 58 of the game.
“It is a very big match for us, I think we will be able to go out with a lot of desire, with that desire, that hunger to give the club, us as a team and the fans a win, but we have to work hard in training and finish it the weekend with a victory”, commented the red player John Méndez, who returns from an injury and possibly will be part of those summoned by Cardozo for Sunday’s match.
This is the closest classic in the Central American area, since of the 319 editions that have been played, the albos have achieved 108 victories, while the scarlet ones have won 109 classics, in addition to 102 ties in the statistics recorded in the history of these encounters.
“The Clásicos are a separate match, a different match, since they are the most important, I feel, and well, you have to face it in the best way, always be focused and always give your best”, said Manuel Gamboa, who will play his second Guatemalan classic wearing the cream shirt.
Communications is currently in fifth place in the Clausura table, with a total of 21 points, with 2 games pending to play. For its part, Municipal is in third place, with 23 units, and a pending match. “We come from two wins in a row, which are important for the team, and we will try to extend the streak on Sunday. We’ve been improving, I think that’s what it’s all about, we’ve grown and I’m happy for the team”, said Ricardo Jerez.
