For Municipal it was a round afternoon on the field of the Estadio Los Cuchumanates in Huehuetenango when they beat the Xinabajul Huehue team 1-2, since after defeating the “X”, they added their fourth consecutive victory thanks to the annotations of José Martínez and John Mendez.
The result also helped the reds to reach third position in the Clausura 2023, now they have 28 points and are close to Comunicaciones, which is second, and the leader Xelajú MC (first). Saturnino Cardozo’s team still has two games pending, so it could even go up a few more boxes.
The match was marked by the dressing room score scored by José Martínez, barely 11 seconds had elapsed when the red striker had already broken Liborio Sánchez’s net. The play was started by Martínez himself after stealing the ball from a defender and running straight into the goal without opposition.

At 18 ‘again, a loss to the feet of a defender condemned Xinabajul, since it was John Méndez’s turn to be present on the scoreboard after a clearance from Andy Ruiz.
Xinabajul, clearly hit by the two avoidable goals, responded immediately and made it 1-2 to 19’ thanks to Gerson Tinoco who scored against a poor mark from the scarlet defense.
In the second half the score did not change, but thanks to the early goals, Municipal got the three points and its fourth win in a row. In this way, the reds reached 28 units, while Xinabajul has 27.
