The superior saprissistas played as visitors and achieved an important victory, after starting the championship very badly, to the point that they were in the basement of the standings, but little by little they found the path of victory and are now on the fifth step , one point away from being in the qualifying zone.
The goals of the team with the most followers in Costa Rica and with the most crowns in national football were scored by Francisco Rodríguez, at 15 minutes, and Ariel Rodríguez, at 90+3, from a penalty, while the one from Guanacasteca went to the account of Suhander Zúñiga, at 56 ‘.
This Saturday in the other replacement match of the first day of the current match, San Carlos defeated Santos de Guápiles 1-0 to sink it even further into the cold basement.
Thanks to Juan Luis Pérez’s goal, after seven minutes, the people from San Carlos retained the fourth step.
The Clausura 2022 Tournament now enters a 26-day break due to the last phase of the round of 16 of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Football (Concacaf), qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Because at the start of the championship, soccer players from almost all teams were infected with Covid-19, some teams have fewer games than the rest.
The 12 teams participating in the Clausura Tournament will play 22 games each, in two rounds of all against all in the regular stage. The best four will go to a semi-final and if the winner of the first phase prevails in the second, they will be the national champion.
