What a match! CD Motagua absolutely dominated Victoria in the Liga Nacional semi-finals, securing a 3-0 victory at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino.
Motagua came out firing. They were relentless from the start, and in the 17th minute, a lovely goal from L. Gómez put them in the lead. Just 8 minutes later, R. Castillo doubled their advantage with a well-taken finish. Then, in the second half, in the 54th minute, R. Castillo added his second of the game and put the game well and truly out of Victoria's reach.
Victoria, despite some valiant efforts, just couldn't match Motagua's intensity. The home side totally controlled the game, keeping possession well and creating clear-cut chances.
The most exciting moments were undoubtedly the goals. It was a clinical display from Motagua and a frustrating night for Victoria.
It looks like Motagua's approach was one of a relentless press, always looking to win back possession and create scoring opportunities. Victoria, on the other hand, seemed content to soak up pressure and look for quick counter-attacks, but Motagua's dominance thwarted those attempts.
Overall, a masterful performance from Motagua. They earned this win decisively, setting up a potentially exciting final matchup. Big congratulations to Motagua!
