Deportivo San Pedro saw off Miskisco 2:0 in the eighth round of the National League on Tuesday evening. The result extends the home side's unbeaten run to four matches after a run of mixed fortunes earlier in the campaign. S. Colon found the net in the fifteenth minute to give his side the lead they would not relinquish.
The breakthrough came from a well-worked move that caught the visitors' defence disorganised. By then the match had settled into an uneasy rhythm, with Miskisco enjoying the ball but struggling to create clear openings. Colon's finish was clinical, and here's the thing — once that goal went in, the complexion of the encounter shifted entirely.
R. Folleco picked up a yellow card in the twenty-fifth minute, a caution that seemed to reflect growing frustration from the away camp. A second booking followed shortly after in the twenty-seventh, though the identity of the recipient was not recorded. The hosts kept a clean sheet throughout, and that discipline proved decisive.
The statistics tell a familiar story: Miskisco controlled possession at 59 per cent and generated 49 attacks compared to 27 for the hosts. Yet shots on target tell a different tale — eight for Deportivo San Pedro against just one for the visitors. To be fair, the away side had more throw-ins and corners, but conversion rates were abysmal on both sides.
This victory moves the hosts further clear of the relegation zone, while Miskisco's inability to score away from home continues to be a concern. The visitors have not won since their victory over Alianza in late August, and the pattern is becoming predictable. A fourth straight win for the hosts would be ambitious, but this result suggests they are finding their feet.
