Real Refineros moved up the table with a 1-0 win away to Canoneritos Marina in the Apertura round two fixture of Liga Premier Serie A on Saturday evening. The result leaves the visitors five points clear of their hosts after two matches, with Real Refineros sitting fifth while Canoneritos Marina remain rooted to the bottom with zero points from two defeats.
Canoneritos Marina's poor start continued as they failed to find the net against a Real Refineros side that had already tasted victory earlier in the campaign. The hosts' recent form offers little comfort — they have lost their last two matches, including a heavy 8-0 defeat to CDM, and are looking for any sign of recovery after two winless outings.
Real Refineros showed they could handle the pressure of an away fixture, securing all three points despite a previous loss in their opening game. Their record of one win from two games puts them in a more comfortable position than Canoneritos Marina, who have yet to register a single point this season.
The visitors' previous defeat came against Artisanos-Metepok in a 2-1 loss, making this result all the more significant for their campaign. They have now gone from losing to drawing level with teams above them, though their goal difference may yet prove crucial if the table tightens in the coming weeks.
What this means for both sides is clear enough. Canoneritos Marina face mounting pressure to find their first victory, while Real Refineros have proven they can compete away from home. The gap between them stands at three points, and Real Refineros will hope to extend it further when these sides meet again.
