2022-02-17

Motagua and Seattle Sounders eThey matched (0-0) in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions League which was played this Thursday night at the San Pedro Sula Olympic Stadium.

The Honduran group directed by Diego Vazquez, had greater prominence throughout the game, however, despite his constant arrivals, he had no luck to break the defensive lock of the team of the Major League Soccer (MLS).

In the first 45 minutes, the eagles had clear scoring opportunities. Especially Marcelo Pereira’s mistake (12 ‘) under the Seattle Sounders goal, but the fact that his shot hit the crossbar prevented him from celebrating the first goal of the match.

The Americans also tried theirs, but they found a real defensive wall between Denil Maldonado and Wesly Decas being punctual in their coverage.

Among the gestation area, it is worth highlighting the actions of the juvenile Jonathan Nunezwho showed outstanding performance in game branding and distribution.

Motagua will have to visit Seattle next Thursday, February 24 at 9:45 pm. With a tie (with goals) or victory of any marker they will go to the next round.
