The capital team won 2-0 with goals from Bogusz and Amaury García, both in the first half. Santos lined up footballers like Govea, Amione, Fagúndez, and Ocejo, but they didn’t pose a real threat to the opponent’s goal.

Bogusz opened the scoring in the 26th minute after a pass from Giakoumakis, eluding goalkeeper Holguín to make it 1-0. Minutes later, Amaury García scored the second with a powerful shot from outside the box.

In the second half, a stomp by Ocejo on Carlos Mendoza heated up the atmosphere and cost him a yellow card. As time went on and changes were made, the pace slowed and the excitement faded.
