Match report

Miskwa secured a comfortable 4:1 victory over Umekit in the CONCACAF Central American Cup group stage on Wednesday night. The hosts dominated proceedings from the opening exchanges, with N. Martinez striking twice in the first half to set the tone. By then the visitors were already on the back foot, unable to match the tempo their opponents brought.

Martinez opened the scoring in the sixteenth minute, capitalising on a defensive lapse. Two minutes later L. Garcia doubled the advantage before Martinez pulled off a stunning save to keep his side ahead. The home side were counting to three within twenty-five minutes, and there is no value left at that number when you concede three in quick succession.

Umekit pulled one back through Y. Pozuelos in the thirty-fourth minute, but the reply only deepened their problems. E. Gomez restored the two-goal cushion in the sixtieth minute, and from that point the result was never in doubt. Cuero Fabian's second yellow card in the eighty-sixth minute meant the visitors had to see out the remainder with ten men.

Statistics told a different story than the final score suggested. Umekit registered 161 attacks compared to 127 for Miskwa, yet shots accuracy was 0.21 versus 0.57. Many shots with one goal means chances went begging, and the visitors simply failed to convert their opportunities.

The result leaves Miskwa with momentum after a difficult run of form. They had lost their last two outings before this victory, while Umekit entered the match winless in five games. The scoreline reflects a complete performance from the hosts, who held the tie in their own hands from the start.
