Three El Salvador League participants fight for the top of the table ahead of the mid-day match day 6 this week. Alianza FC while sitting there will try to guard the throne when visited by Santa Tecla at the Estadio Cuscatlan.

Alianza deserves to be there after undergoing 5 opening matches with 4 wins and 1 result. On the test Monday (11/2) then a single goal at CD Audaz headquarters was enough to silence the hosts at home, while yesterday’s 2 home games won cleanly, 4-0 and 2-0, against Municipal Limeno and CD Aguila.

Contrasting situations occur in the Tecla camp which must be satisfied to share the score 1-1 with CD Chalatenango on Sunday (10/2). Because, the draw makes them have never won so far with 4 draws and 1 loss. Tomorrow is the 3rd away game after a 3-1 run against Isidro Metapan, then draw 1-1 with Firpo. This note can only bring Tecla to position 9.

Surprising results appeared on Cuscatlan last December when Tecla managed to bring a 1-2 victory despite playing with 10 people. It was Alianza’s first defeat after securing 3 previous matches there with a score of 2-1, 1-0 and 1-1. Of course they don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, especially this time they are at the top.
