FAC travelled to face Inkaa Aruba in the third round of the Apertura and came away with a comfortable 4-0 win on Saturday night. The visitors, sitting top of the Primera División, made light work of a home side languishing in tenth place. It was a result that extended the gap between them at the summit.
R. Tejada opened the scoring after thirteen minutes, giving FAC an early advantage. E. Medrano doubled the lead just before the half-hour mark with a second goal in quick succession. The hosts showed little resistance as the visitors carried the side with confidence. Two more strikes in the closing stages — one in the 80th and another in the 87th — sealed the rout.
The statistics told the story of one-sided dominance. FAC registered 85 attacks against 74 for the hosts, while their shot accuracy was far superior with 19 shots on target compared to nine. Possession favoured the visitors at 61 per cent, and they created more from corners, winning five to three. Such figures suggest the home side struggled to impose any rhythm in midfield.
The result leaves FAC eight points clear at the top with eight games played, while Inkaa Aruba remain rooted near the bottom with nine points from ten matches. Recent form adds context — the hosts have lost their last two outings against Municipal Limeño and Alianza, while the visitors suffered a surprise defeat to Isidro Metapán last time out. This victory should hold the tie in their own hands as the season progresses.
