GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala– Facing a 2-1 deficit, Guastatoya will seek to turn things around in its 2019 Scotiabank Concacaf League Round of 16 series with fellow Guatemalan club Comunicaciones in the second leg on Wednesday night at the Estadio Doroteo Guamuch Flores in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Los Cremas showed great character in coming back from 1-0 down and a first half red card to down Guastatoya in last week’s first leg, thanks to second half goals from Agustin Herrera and Gerardo Gordillo.
They will need a similarly strong performance on Wednesday to nail down a spot in the tournament’s final eight.
Despite the first leg defeat, Guastatoya showed its quality as well, with the link-up play between FW Luis Landin and MF Kendel Herrarte among the highlights, as the latter scored the goal for Guastatoya.
Guastatoya has also proven it knows how to finish the job against Comunicaciones in a two-legged series, having won the last two series between the two clubs in the Guatemalan playoffs.
