Match report
Antigua GFC beat Koba Imperial 2-0 in the second round of the National League on Wednesday evening. K. J. Lopez opened the scoring in the 50th minute before W. Fajardo added a second in stoppage time. The visitors moved clear of trouble in the table with that result.
Abrupt change came when A. Cabrera received a red card in the 43rd minute after two yellow cards. To be fair, the home side had already been cautioned earlier through J. Ardon and E. Soto. By then the visitors were staying compact and not chasing the game.
Lopez struck just after the break, capitalising on space left by the numerical disadvantage. Fajardo's late goal settled any remaining nerves, though the match had been decided by then. Koba Imperial were reduced to ten men and found no answer to the visitors' structure.
Statistics showed Koba Imperial dominated possession at 52 per cent but failed to convert their chances. They registered four shots on target compared to Antigua's six. The visitors were more clinical with their opportunities, and here's the thing — one goal from two shots on target tells you everything.
The result extends Antigua's recent good form, with three wins in their last five matches. Koba Imperial have lost two of their past five games and will look to regroup. Antigua GFC now hold momentum heading into the next fixture.
