Road to 2022 - Post Figueroa, Izaguirre, edition.

Muma Fernandez is cold:

Tomate una horchata y disfrutá el gol @MinutoCero1010 de Carlos "Muma" Fernández. Exceso de velocidad y la multa la pagó Wanderers.

So it now appears that Rojas will stay with Alajuelense and Kevin Alvarez is looking to return home and possibly sign with Marathon. Sigh

 

I'm all for it. He's not really doing anything in Sweden. And Vargas was the coach that debuted him at Olimpia so the comfort level is there for him to succeed again in Honduras.

 

Bryan Moya with the assist in Zulia's home leg win over Sporting Cristal for El Copa Sud Americana:

Alex Lopez scored today for Alajuelense in their 2-1 win over Limon. Alex scored the first goal in the 9th minute.

Alex is currently on form.

 

Deybi Flores will stay with Olimpia, very frustrated that a lot of the local guys are not going abroad.

 

Honduras U23 defeats Jamaica 3-1 with a doblete by Darixon Vuelto and one by Douglas Martinez. Jamaica’s lone goal came via a defensive mistake by Jose Garcia.

Our next match is against the host Peru on the 1st.

 

Uruguay defeats Peru 2-0. Next game will be crucial since if we win this one then we qualify to the next round.

Peru has 3 overage players on their squad and will be desperate for a win on home soil so it will be a real test for our squad.

 

Highlights:

 

1ra Jornada del Apertura Hondurena:

 

Alajuelense announce that they're loaning out Cristian Moreira to Municipal Grecia for 6 months.. Grecia also play in the first division:

Good move, Alajuelense are over the limit for foreign players.

 

Bryan Moya is unstoppable atm.

 

Moya punches Zulias ticket to the next round of El Copa Sud Americana:

Aquí el gol más importante en la historia de la Copa Sudamérica para un equipo venezolano. Autor: Brayan Moya. Pique, manejo y definición. Boleto a cuartos de final en el bolsillo. Hoy todos los venezolanos somos @Zulia_FC tocaba dar ese golpe histórico. pic.twitter.com/2HIMMSzIph

Marathon open up their CL campaign tonight in Guatemala against Los Cremas...

Lest not remind ourselves that Olimpia got ragdolled 3-0 there by that same team... Vargas gonna need to make a believer out of all of us tonight... his Continental record has been abysmal.

 

Uruguay defeats and eliminated Jamaica 2-0.

In group A Panama ties Ecuador 1-1 and Mexico defeats Argentina 2-1 with both goals coming via penalty.

 

Yellow card Carlos Pineda min 11, clear path foul.

 

Goal Peru min 14, our defenders look shaky.

 

Martínez fails a 1 on 1 shot.

 

Ellison Rivas is committing a ton of mistakes.

 

Yellow for Peru foul on Vuelto just outside the box.

 

Peru can only go forward on counters

 

God these commentators are pure BS.

 

We won so many corners and have done nothing with them.

 

Halftime 1-0, we are 100% playing better than Peru but we will see if we can keep playing at this same level for the 2nd half.
