Asserri saw off Municipal Grecia 3-2 in the fourth round of the Liga Ascenso regular season on Saturday evening. The hosts held on for a narrow win after a match that swung back and forth between two finishing blows. It was a result that kept Asserri at the summit of the table.
A. Ugalde gave Asserri the first advantage, striking just four minutes in. Municipal Grecia responded through R. Silva, who found the net in the sixty-seventh minute. And here's the thing — the momentum kept shifting as A. Camacho restored the lead for Asserri five minutes later.
O. Gomez pulled one back for the visitors in the seventy-fifth minute, setting up a tense finish. By then, Asserri had already shown they could keep their side in it when under pressure. J. Gonzalez proved decisive, landing a late winner in the ninety-fifth minute to complete the turnaround.
The hosts now sit top of the table with thirteen points from eight games, having recorded four victories, one draw and three defeats. Municipal Grecia occupy fourth place with nine points after four matches, comprising three wins and a single loss.
Asserri arrive at this fixture following a mixed run, including a goalless draw against Pitbulls Santa-Barbara and a 2-0 victory over Guadalupe. They had also suffered defeats to Santa Ana and Jicalar, showing they are not immune to setbacks.
Municipal Grecia come into this contest on a better streak, having beaten Santu-Crush and Keposh Kambute in their last two outings. They are closing in on a deal for consistency, though one mistake ends it when away from home.
