Match Report: Managua 6-1 H&H Export
Managua took all three points with a 6-1 victory over H&H Export in the sixth round of the Apertura stage of the Primera División on August 22nd. The hosts opened their campaign with authority, establishing control early and never relinquishing it. By then the result felt inevitable rather than surprising.
C. Ramirez struck first in the ninth minute, setting the tone for what followed. D. Diaz added a second before half-time, and Ramirez completed his brace five minutes into the second period. D. Ramos scored at the break, and J. Martinez made it five before the hour mark. The hosts pinned them back throughout, though two goals at minute 72 and an own goal from J. Cuarezma confirmed the margin.
Managua dominated possession at 56 per cent and registered seven shots on target compared to their opponents' two.
