But due to the difference in goals for and against, Alajuelense ranks first, Guadalupe FC second and Cartaginés third.
The embrace of 16 points between these three teams was produced by a coincidence of results, in which Alajuelense equaled one with Herediano, Guadalupe FC beat Pérez Zeledón 1-0, and yesterday in the only match of the first day of this round , Cartaginés tied at one with San Carlos.
In other results this Wednesday, Sporting San José defeated Greece 1-0 to move up to fourth position, Saprissa equaled one with Jicaral and still cannot find the path of consistent success, while Santos de Guápiles won 2-0 against Guanacasteca to leave the cold basement.
Herediano, the defending champion, is now the occupant of the last position of this fight, which after the 10th round, will have a 26-day stoppage for the round of 16 of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Soccer (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.
Otherwise, the winners of each of the stages will define in round-trip matches who will take the Cup to their showcase.
