Salcedo beat Vega Real 3-1 in the third round of Liga Mayor's regular season on 30 August 2026. The home side took their time to find rhythm, but once they did, the visitors had no answer. And here's the thing — what followed was a match decided by moments rather than possession.
Vega Real started the second half with the idea of getting back into it. E. Dorlus, however, had other plans, and his own goal in the 49th minute put Salcedo ahead against the run of play. To be fair, the visitors had been pressing, but the break came when least expected.
J. Diaz Sanchez pulled one back for Vega Real in the 62nd minute, and for a few minutes there was a sense the game could open up. By then, Salcedo had settled into their shape and were content to let the visitors come at them.
D. Jamesley restored the lead in the 82nd minute, a simple finish after a period of sustained pressure. Salcedo had the energy to hold on, and they did just that. S. Ramos Lopez added a late goal in stoppage time, 90+1, to kill any lingering hope.
The statistics tell the story. Salcedo kept 52% of possession with 92 attacks against Vega Real's 83. They were far more dangerous in front of goal — seven shots on target to two — while the visitors managed only four off target.
Salcedo sit top of the table with seven points from three games, two wins and a draw. Vega Real are fourth with four points, one win, one draw and one loss. A result that keeps the gap tight at the top.
