After a couple of confrontations without knowing the victory, when falling at the hands of Cruz Azul and Pumas de la UNAM in Grita México Closure 2022, the set of the Fiera de Lion returned to the path of victory yesterday afternoon during his visit to Guatemalan soil, at the start of the Concacaf Champions League. They authoritatively beat Guatemala’s Guastatoya, with a final 2-0 scoreline, after goals scored by Omar Fernández and Elías Hernández in the first half.
The first leg round of 16 match did not present any major complications for the Panzas Verdes, demonstrating their quality from the start of the match. Despite this, the first goal fell in the 24th minute of running time, at the feet of Omar Fernández, who was ultimately chosen as the best player of the match. 10 minutes later, Elías Hernández would do the same, scoring the final goal for those led by Ariel Holanhelmsman of the Fierce who made public the complaints about the conditions of the field of play.
“We also had to fight with the state of the field, which is very uneven. One of several situations that we finished off on goal, both Elías and Federico. The team had the absolute precision of the ball, and had the arrivals, via crosses, shots in the area, but we couldn’t have that precision to have a slightly broader result. It cost the team the first 25 minutes on the court; I am satisfied with the general balance” mentioned Ariel Holan at the end of the meeting at a press conference.

With this victory, the Panzas Verdes direct their pass to the quarterfinals of the competition; same that they will have to confirm next Tuesday on Mexican soil in the second leg. The task seems complicated for the Guatemalans, considering the disadvantage of two goals; however, the helmsman of the Fiera pointed out the main virtues of the rival, making it clear that the tie is still open.
“I thought it was a very organized team, with a lot of enthusiasm. To them, the court also played them in some plays, a bad past. Now we have to think about Saturday’s game and then Tuesday’s, to finally close the key. We have to lift in the championship. We took the first step here in the cup; now on Tuesday we have to close the job”, sentenced the helmsman of the Panzas Verdes.
