San Marcos — Managua FC: 1:4, Primera Division

Managua beat San Marcos 4:1 in the Apertura's third round of the Primera División on Friday evening. The visitors took all three points away from Estadio Nacional in Managua, extending their unbeaten run to nine matches.

Five goals were scored during the contest, coming at 23, 38, 63, 66 and 90+3 minutes. San Marcos had their chances but could only find the net once, while Managua took full advantage of their opportunities when it mattered.

And here's the thing about the numbers. Managua registered five shots on target against three for the hosts, while possession favoured the visitors at 52 per cent to 48. More attacks (103 to 92) and more corners (6 to 3) tell you who controlled the tempo.

To be fair, the result reflects a gulf in form. San Marcos sit fifth with 11 points from nine games, having drawn their last two against H&H Export and Diriangén. Managua lead the table with 23 points, unbeaten in seven wins and two draws.
