In a thrilling Liga Nacional encounter between CD Motagua and Lobos UPNFM, ended in a narrow 4-3 victory for the home team (CD Motagua). Both teams demonstrated an aggressive approach to the game as visible by the six yellow cards that were distributed evenly, three for each team.

The goal scoring began within the first quarter, with Lobos UPNFM initiating the scoreline at the 13th minute. However, it is commendable how the home team managed to turn around the scoreboard within a span of 20 minutes by scoring two goals at the 18th and 34th minutes respectively. The match went into half-time reading a score of 2-1 in favour of CD Motagua.

Following half-time, an equalizer from Lobos UPNFM would have raised their spirits, but CD Motagua held their ground by putting another two goals into the back of the net at the 72nd and 80th minutes. A late goal by Lobos UPNFM in the closing minutes of the match was not enough for the away team to salvage any points from this exhilarating encounter.

Statistically speaking, Lobos UPNFM had the upper hand when it came to corner kicks, with them having a staggering nine corners compared to just two by the home team. Contrarily, CD Motagua was more disciplined with controlling the offside trap with just one violation compared to none by Lobos UPNFM. This could indicate a more defensive play by the away team.

The data provided tells us that the home team demonstrated a higher efficiency when it came to converting goal opportunities, despite the away team dominating in set-piece scenarios.
