In a fiercely contested Liga Nacional clash, Antigua GFC secured a 3-1 victory over Deportivo Guastatoya. The match was marked by a disciplined second-half performance from Antigua, who capitalized on their scoring opportunities with commendable efficiency. The home team opened the scoring early in the second half and maintained their momentum throughout, achieving a conversion rate of 75% of their goals from their limited attempts on target. Deportivo Guastatoya's reply came shortly after Antigua's second goal, but the home side's quick response to make it 3-1 illustrated their superior attacking cohesion and resolve.

Discipline, or the lack thereof, played a significant role in the dynamics of the match. Deportivo Guastatoya was marred by discipline issues, accumulating an extraordinary seven yellow cards, resulting in a red card. This undoubtedly impeded their rhythm and allowed Antigua to exploit the gaps left by Guastatoya's reduced numbers on the field. In contrast, though Antigua also registered a red card, their ability to balance aggressive play with effective ball possession was evident as they kept their cool, particularly in the critical phases of the game.

Set pieces and fouls were another domain where Antigua showed deft control. Both teams had four corner kicks each, but Antigua's utilization was more strategic, contributing to their pressure on Guastatoya. Furthermore, the disparity in fouls—Antigua’s 11 to Guastatoya’s 18—further underscores the home side’s ability to draw fouls from their opponents, disrupting their play. Such tactical maneuvering, coupled with efficient shot conversion, underpinned Antigua GFC's successful evening against Deportivo Guastatoya.
