UNAN Managua — Managua FC, Primera Division

Managua secured a comfortable victory over UNAN Managua at the Estadio Nacional with a 2:0 scoreline in the seventh round of the Apertura campaign. The visitors took control early when J. A. Martinez opened the scoring in the fifth minute, a moment that set the tone for the afternoon. UNAN Managua had chances to respond but could not find the net, their single shot on target failing to trouble the opposition goalkeeper. To be fair, the visitors were efficient from the start, and by the time the home side pushed forward, the game was slipping away. N. Gomez sealed the result with a second goal in the 59th minute, putting the tie beyond doubt. The home side had three shots off target and three throw-ins in the second half, but ran out of legs against a side that looked comfortable in possession. The statistics tell a clear story — Managua controlled 62 per cent of the ball with seven shots on target, while UNAN Managua managed just one. Both sides kept clean sheets on cards, though the hosts picked up three yellows as frustration mounted. The visitors remain top of the table with 18 points from six games, undefeated so far this season. UNAN Managua drop to third with 14 points after seven matches, their recent run of five games without defeat now ended. This result extends Managua's winning streak to six matches across all competitions, while UNAN Managua will need to regroup before their next fixture. The gap between first and third now stands at four points in the standings.
