Well, the soccer season has begun again and for thousands of fans in this country, there’s something to look forward to once more.
Alajuela fans can rejoice after yesterday’s drubbing of a surprised Liberia team, 4-1.
For a time in the first part, neither team shone, then Liberia drew first blood with a corner kick that Freddy Segura converted into a 1-0 score at minute 47. The Liberia fans in Alajuela’s Morera Soto Stadium went wild. Earlier they had been treated to a near-goal by ex-Alajuela star Rolando Fonseca who surprised goalie Wardy Alfaro and almost had his revenge on his old team.
But Segura’s goal proved to be like an alarm clock for Alajuela, awakening the lion. Luis Lara evened the score for Alajuela 10 minutes later and Victor Nunez put the team ahead a few minutes after and then it was all downhill for Liberia. Two minutes later Pablo Nasser made it 3-1 and in the closing minutes Nunez made his second goal.
The black and red gang has had two previous lackluster seasons. Could this year be the one that sets them on track again?
