Minas completed a comprehensive victory over Deportivo Binacional with an 8-1 scoreline in the Segunda División regular season, round 13, on Friday evening in what proved to be a one-sided affair from start to finish. The visitors, sitting third in the table, put on a performance that left their opponents with little to show for their efforts beyond a single consolation goal.
G. Pereira opened the scoring in the 14th minute, catching the home defence off guard, and Minas never looked back. D. Ramirez doubled the lead before the half-hour mark, while C. Ruiz added a third just before halftime to put the game beyond doubt. M. Delgado made it four early in the second period, and by then the visitors were camped in the final third, ready to extract maximum profit from their dominance.
The goals continued to flow for Minas throughout the second half. An unnamed goalscorer found the net in the 63rd minute before Pereira returned to his list with a second in the 69th minute, and Y. Mena added another in the 70th minute. M. Delgado completed his brace in the 72nd minute, and a final goal in the 78th minute sealed the comprehensive victory, with Binacional's only bright spot a yellow card in the 80th minute.
The statistics paint a clear picture of the disparity between the two sides. Minas enjoyed 63 per cent possession and registered 15 shots on target compared to four for the hosts, while their 100 attacks dwarfed Binacional's 65. The visitors also won nine corners to one, a reflection of how thoroughly they controlled the game and put the hosts under pressure.
Binacional's position in ninth place with nine points from 15 games follows a difficult run of form, including heavy defeats to Estudiantil KN and Bentin Tacona Eroyika. Minas, meanwhile, sit third with 22 points and five wins from their 15 matches, a record that shows consistency even when results are not always convincing.
This result extends Minas's momentum while deepening Binacional's struggles. The gap between the two sides in the table now stands at 13 points, and the manner of this defeat suggests that Binacional have work to do if they are to climb out of the lower reaches of the standings.
