In one of the best played classics in recent years, Saprissa beat Alajuela 2-0. The key moment in the match was minute 52, when the all-time leading goal scorer in Classics Rolando Fonseca blew an opportunity to open the scoring.

A few minutes later Alonso Solís, the “Mariachi” was fouled in the area and then put away the resulting penalty shot to send the stadium into a frenzy. Another star on the night was Try Bennett, who made Panamanian Armando Gun suffer all night long. His assist to Allen Alemán in the 91st minute, after beating Gun yet again on an auto-pass, put the game (and maybe the series) on ICE for the “morados”.

The second game in the series is Saturday night at 8 pm in Alajuela. New Saprissa coach Jeaustin Campos will have the opportunity to go  2 and 0 in classics and also win his first title just a few weeks after taking over for Hernan Medford.
