Match Recap
Xelajú needed just one moment to see off Deportivo San Pedro in Liga Nacional, and J. Cardona delivered it right on the stroke of halftime. His 45+2' strike was the only goal of the game, enough to settle a tie Xelajú had actually lost the last time these two sides met. That history makes the turnaround sweeter: a single breakthrough in first-half stoppage time flipped the script and set the tone for a controlled second half. Deportivo San Pedro pushed for a way back in, but Xelajú's defense held firm, protecting a scoreline that looks tight on paper but felt comfortable on the pitch once that goal went in. Neither side has a player among the league's current top scorers, with N. Martinez still out front on 21, but Cardona's timing made him the night's biggest name regardless. A 2-0 scoreline tells you who won; it doesn't tell you how a near-last-gasp goal before the break changed the whole complexion of the match. Watch Cardona's 45+2' finish and see exactly how Xelajú turned the tide against Deportivo San Pedro.
