After its setback on the international level, Comunicaciones visited Huehuetenango this Sunday to close with Xinabajul the sixth date of the Closing Tournament 2024 of the Guate Banrural League.
With acceptable support from the Huehueteca fans, the Los Cuchumatanes stadium served as the main stage for the duel between the “X” and the “Albos”. On the one hand, there was a team struggling hard to score points to get out of the relegation positions, and the other, looking for consistency to close the distance and stay close to the leader Cobán Imperial.
At the end of the 90 minutes, and asking for time, Comunicaciones survived and added a point after 0-0, a situation that leaves it in third place in the table with 11 points, but with the advantage that it will play on Wednesday and will be able, with a victory, catching up with Cobán Imperial, the current leader with 14 points.
For its part, Xinabajul, reached 6 points in the Clausura and is in tenth place. In the accumulated, he continues in penultimate place with 22 points, and now to save himself he would have to surpass Zacapa’s 26.
NOTE: Municipal adds three important points in its visit to Guastatoya

The “X” with better opportunities
During the first half, the local team had great lapses in the game, where they made dangerous approaches to the goal defended by Fredy Pérez, who was an important piece in ensuring that the cream goal did not open in these first 45 minutes.
Joshua Ubico worried Comunicaciones in the first five minutes of play with two approaches. But at 12, Fredy Pérez’s best saves came to light, who took the goal away from Tomás Pizarro with a header.
Juan Anangonó had an arrival that worried Estuardo Sicán after the first quarter of an hour. Then, it was the turn of Nicolás Mazzola who on two occasions (18 and 24) tried to beat Pérez’s goal.
Sicán appeared again in the game to say it with a resounding no, to Gerardo Gordillo’s play. And in the final stretch of the first half, a deflected shot by Guillermo Chavasco brought down the curtain on the show in Los Cuchumatanes with a 0-0 score.

Total superiority
For the second half, the rhythm between the players dropped in the first touches on the ball, but as the first minutes passed, Pablo Centrone’s team once again took control of the match, and had, as in the primary part, the best scoring opportunities.
The first big scare for the champion was a long-distance shot that hit the crossbar in the 53rd minute. Jeshua Ubico regretted that his shot did not go in since goalkeeper Fredy Pérez was beaten.
But at 57, Xinabajul had another very clear scoring opportunity. Hand serve that ended up in the hands of Esnaydi Zúñiga, but the national player did not dare to kill Comunicaciones, and gave a pass to Tomás Pizarro, who, completely surprised, reacted and, faced with a completely alone goal, was unable to connect Zúñiga’s assist. In this way, on their own goal line, the “X” failed again in the offensive.
By the 81st minute, each arrival by Xinabajul became half a goal, since there were mistakes in the white defense. With nine minutes left, “X” had a golden opportunity. Center from the left wing and Zúñiga goes in with a header, but the shot went very close to goalkeeper Fredy Pérez’s left post.
Arriving at 89, Comunicaciones surprised with an arrival from the right wing and a tight shot that almost kissed Estuardo Sicán’s goal, paralyzing the hearts of Huehueteco.
The last play was a bicycle kick by Néstor Jucup, where he was injured when he fell on the field of play. Tension, drama and nervousness were experienced by Communications at the end of the duel, where he suffered more than normal.
