To the Super Cup on different ways

The Super Cup captures the opponents tonight in completely opposite positions and in a completely different scenario than what happened in the previous season.

Alajuelense was so dominant throughout the regular stage that he finished undefeated, but collapsed in the final round on his home ground. On the contrary, Saprissa was disastrous in the qualifying stage, but climbed again in the most decisive stage and left the 36th crown.

The lion is above. down the beast.

Today, at the dawn of the Apertura tournament, it has been reversed: Saprissa has dominated the rankings in an overwhelming way, while the league still does not know victory after two submissions. Even in the last long unbeaten season, he almost lost him in this second confrontation only.

Saprissa started with a 3-0 win over Santos, but coach Mauricio Wright sent to the old trash saying the winning team was repeating, and against Perez Zeledon, he gave space as a start to Kendall, Aston and David Guzman, Gold Cup selectees. Nine other players repeat in a 4-3-3 fashion, based on the experience of Mariano Torres, Michael Barantes and Christian Bolaños, with the untouchable Aubrey David at the center of the defence.

Bolanos pushes and completes the attacking double formed by Orlando Sinclair and Daniel Colindris, who was replaced at the start of the second half by another pair: Jimmy Marin and David Ramirez, who gave him – especially the first – another face of the beast, what easy reached the rival strings six times, with three goals from Marin , the star player in this positive purple introduction.

With two wins, 6 goals in favor, 0 against and 6 points, today’s Saprisa trajectory contrasts with that of Alajuelense, its Super Cup rival, where the traders pile into two presentations, their rear allowing a whopping five annotations.

Lyon won 2-0 in San Carlos, but they tied and Sporting against the ropes, and saved the loser with a 3-3 draw, thanks to a painful goal scored by Johan Venegas at the end of the match.

For various reasons: Gold Cup, injuries, suspensions and the sale of Montenegro, Andres Karvić could not count on his full roster, what if we thought he was ready for tonight’s match.

The whistle will be blown by Juan Gabriel Calderon, who came after the Gold Cup semi-final brag between the USA and Qatar.
