Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Real Estelí beat Deportivo Matagalpa FC 2-0, with Juan Manuel Trejo the standout performer, and now face ART Municipal Jalapa next. This was a Primera Division fixture that descended into chaos long before the goals arrived.

The match turned on a staggering first half in which both sides had a man sent off at the 45th minute, Emanuel Casado for Real Estelí and an unnamed Matagalpa player, before Felipe Herrera received Matagalpa's second red on 56 minutes. With the visitors down to nine, Byron Bonilla scored the opener on 59 minutes and Joab Gutiérrez added a second on 70, both unassisted.

Real Estelí dominated the statistics with 64% possession and six corners to Matagalpa's four, controlling the play even before the numerical advantage.
