Match report
Real España beat Atlético Choloma 2-1 in the fifth round of the Apertura. The hosts stay in second place with eleven points from five games, while the visitors sit tenth with three.
E. Hernandez opened the scoring in the tenth minute and doubled his tally by the twenty-first. To be fair, the pattern was clear from the start — Real España pressed forward and found their reward. The visitors had a chance to respond but could not find the net.
H. Castillo pulled one back for Atlético Choloma in the sixty-first minute, and here's the thing about comebacks — they rarely work when you've fallen behind early. The match could have swung either way, but Real España saw it out.
There were plenty of changes on the sideline. L. Ferreira came on in the thirty-fourth minute, while Atlético Choloma made two substitutions at half-time with J. Barrios and M. Pereira. E. Hernandez was substituted himself in the seventy-sixth minute after his two goals. The visitors also brought on O. Zamora in the seventy-third minute and D. Vuelto in the fifty-eighth.
The statistics tell a simple story. Real España held 53 per cent possession and registered six shots on target from sixteen attempts. Atlético Choloma matched them with six shots on target from thirteen, but possession told the tale. Both sides had three yellow cards, and neither saw a red.
The result means Real España extend their unbeaten run to five games, while Atlético Choloma have now lost four of five. By then, the gap between them in the table was always going to grow.
