Match report

Atlético Independiente beat Atlético Choloma 2:1 in the Apertura round two fixture on Sunday evening. The home side took all three points from a match that stayed balanced for long stretches before their strikers made the difference.

L. Ferreira opened the scoring in the twenty-second minute, then S. Cruz doubled the lead three minutes later. S. Espinoza pulled one back for the visitors in the thirty-second, but the home team held on.

There were no red cards, though nine yellow cards were shown across the ninety minutes. J. Suazo and I. Martinez were both substituted in the forty-sixth minute, while H. J. Nunez Ramirez and S. Espinoza came off in the fifty-fifth and fifty-ninth.

Atlético Choloma kept 59 percent possession and launched 47 attacks, but they managed only four shots on target. Independiente held 41 percent and hit the target five times with their 28 attacks, and here's the thing — efficiency mattered more than volume.
