The quarterfinals of the Clausura 2024 tournament are coming, which were announced on the last date of the regular phase of the championship, which left interesting crosses for the start of the second phase of this tournament, and which will also have a national classic and a cross between the bulls and the jaguars in the next challenges that the Major League teams will face in search of the desired title.
On the last date of the championship Alianza was crowned as the undisputed leader of the regular phase with 45 units, this team that finished the last round with a 1 to 3 against the Municipal Limeño team, who was previously also a leader of the tournament and remained for a considerable time at the top.
Another of the teams that stood out the most at the end of this first part of the tournament was Firpo, which ended with a 1-2 victory as a visitor at Platense’s home, at the Antonio Toledo Valle, a team that not only stood out for its performances, but also for having the goal man of the regular phase, Styven Vásquez, who reached 15 goals, a statistic that makes him one of the best net-breakers in short tournaments.
The national classic did not lose parity between the FAS tigrillos and the feathered team of Águila, which arrived at the Óscar Quiteño stadium in search of victory on the last date, but the Santaneco team did not give room for the Migueleños to take the advantage and In this way they ended the match without goals. An interesting series that will be repeated in the next phase to meet one of the semifinalists.
Isidro Metapán, who is part of one of the most anticipated series of the next phase, ended the round of the tournament with a defeat given to him by Dragón’s Migueleños, the team did not qualify and finished in ninth position.
Without worries, 11 Deportivo visited Fuerte San Francisco at the Correcaminos stadium, with its ticket to the quarterfinals, in eighth position, this team fell 2 to 0 against the tiles, with goals from Jefferson Polio and another from Bryan Paz. The border tank will face one of the most important tests in the next phase when facing the leader of the tournament.
Santa Tecla said goodbye to the First Division with its last match in the Major League that was played at the Las Delicias stadium against Jocoro; two teams that were irregular in this Clausura tournament and that were on the verge of relegation, but in the end the Tecla team was consolidated as the relegated team. This series left an important result of 3 to 4 with victory for the stokers.
