Miskco claimed a 2-0 win against Sucitepeces in the National League's regular season opener on Friday night. The hosts dominated possession at 61 per cent and saw the match through despite a sluggish start. N. Martinez scored both goals, one in the 57th minute and another near the end of the game at 89 minutes.
Yellow cards littered the opening exchanges. Jerry picked up a booking in the 23rd minute, followed by J. Matul at 26. A. Galindo was cautioned just before half-time at 45 plus one, and the referee had him replaced immediately. Cuero Fabian added a third away-side card in the 50th minute.
And here's the thing about the second half — the game opened up once Martinez found the net. The away side had more shots on target overall with seven attempts off target compared to their two on target, but they couldn't convert. Miskco were more clinical with three shots on target and three off, turning efficiency into two goals.
The hosts made several changes throughout the evening. F. de Leon came on in the 58th minute, A. Zamorano followed at 64, and Jerry was substituted for F. A. Montano Cardenas in the 75th minute. Sucitepeces had already reshuffled their back line at half-time when Galindo was replaced by Segura.
By then the pattern was clear. Miskco registered 137 attacks against 108 for their visitors, while corners were evenly spread at two for the hosts and three for Sucitepeces. Free kicks were called 14 times against 15, and offsides were minimal at two for the home side and one away.
This result comes after a difficult run for Miskco. They lost 2-0 to Olympia on July 29th, followed by back-to-back defeats against Municipal on July 25th and May 10th. The 2-0 win against Coban Imperial on May 2nd was their last victory before this match.
Sucitepeces have been more inconsistent in their recent outings. Their last game ended 0-0 with Comunicaciones on July 26th, while earlier results include two draws against Chiquimulia in April 2025 and a heavy 3-0 defeat to Juventud Copalera.
The final scoreline reflects the match statistics — Miskco controlled possession and created more attacking opportunities. The away side's three yellow cards and lower shot accuracy meant they struggled to impose themselves in the final third. The result gives the hosts a positive start to the season.
