Motagua wiped out the Marathon and landed it. Héctor Vargas’ men were not even the shadow of the team that stopped Olimpia with the claw the previous week. What we saw on Wednesday in the first stage of the semifinals was one team, Diego, who dominated the duel that won 2-0 at will and left them alone to close the series.
A double by Rubilio Castillo was more than enough to bring down the Monster in the Cloud, which was on fire and celebrating after the blow to Olympia in the group final. Min.27, Goooaaal !!!, Bryan Jhonson makes a great run down the righthand touchline, stepping past 2 defenders, before making a lovely pass right through the center. Castillo connects wiith the pass and nutmegs the keeper!

Entering the game, Motagua goalkeeper Jonathan Rougier had no job, the pursuing strikers stayed away from the area. Denovan Torres experienced the opposite, who had to save his goal with three clear chances that avoided victory.
Rubilio started knocking on the door early, he had two clear heads that ended up in Torres’ hands. These were warnings that something was coming. It was 39 minutes when Bryan Jhonson touched the ball with his hand, the judge Melvin Matamoros, did not hesitate and sanctioned the maximum penalty that was masterfully transformed by Castillo.

This goal put an end to the defensive ideals that the Monster brought, because he knew that it could not be opened to the blues that, with the game of the two touches of Galvaliz and Martínez, combined with the speed of Kevin López and Rubilio Castillo, could end in rounds when they were beaten 4-0.
The first half was over and Rougier’s gloves were out of his bag, not dirty at all. Edwin Solani did not approach the area, Marlon “Machuca” Ramírez tried but was well rejected by Meléndez and Decas who spent a good duel in the back.
In addition, the party continued with the same scheme, the dominance of the place. Diego brought Emilio Izaguirre, a player with fangs and experience, and in the first action he had, he won the baseline to Carlos Perdomo, sent a precise center to the head of Rubilio Castillo, who hit him in to the left of Denovan Torres. It was impossible to stop and with this the meeting was condemned.
Now everything has been left to be defined on Sunday in San Pedro Sula. The marathon must win with three goals to go to the final and look for the champion. To win by two differences, the series would equalize and be defined directly from penalty kicks, because in this case of the tournament the position in the table is not worth it.
