Comunicaciones 4–2 Malacateco

D. Bradley turned a wobbling two-goal lead into a Liga Nacional hat-trick to carry Comunicaciones past Malacateco 4-2, surviving a frantic first-half spell that had the home side's nerves in tatters. Comunicaciones burst out of the blocks with D. Reyes on six minutes and Bradley two minutes later, only for Malacateco to level before the half-hour through E. Quinones (13') and F. Morales (24'). Bradley refused to let the equaliser stick, poking the go-ahead goal back in on the stroke of half-time and then wrapping up the match and his hat-trick on 80 minutes. It was a result that snapped a losing run for Comunicaciones in this fixture, having dropped two of their last three meetings with Malacateco before today. Reyes, already fourth in the Liga Nacional scoring charts with 11 goals, set the tone early, but it is Bradley's first-to-45th-to-80th finish that you need to see to believe.
