Juticalpa, Honduras

Huge! Génesis de Comayagua eliminated Olancho FC in the playoffs (0-1 overall) and won the last ticket to the semifinals of the 2024 Clausura Tournament of the National League of Honduras.

The team led by Reynaldo Tilguath is in this phase again and in its second championship in the First Division of soccer, it is among the four best in the competition.

The carpinteros and the Potros tied without goals at the Juan Ramón Brevé Stadium, but the minimal advantage of those from Comayagua was a crucial element in advancing to the semifinals.

In a beautiful atmosphere at the Juan Ramón Brevé Stadium, Olancho FC undertook their mission in search of the goal that would keep them alive in the Clausura 2024.

However, the first minutes were highly contested by both teams. Referee errors and crucial rulings against the goals defended by Harold Fonseca (Potros) and Gerson Arueta (Genesis).

In the 11th minute, the carpenters went on the attack with Marlon Ramírez and just before defining they took away a dangerous option from the carpenters due to an advanced position.

Juan Sellecchia, from the Colts, had the option of breaking the deadlock on several occasions. In the 24th minute he sent a shot to the corner kick and later in the same play he scored the ball into Argueta’s goal, but it was canceled due to a previous handball.

The visitors were not far behind and Roberto Moreira with a tremendous header inside the area, but Harold Fonseca also showed off and prevented the Comayagua team from scoring.

In the last minutes of the first half, Olancho FC had the clearest chance, but they forgave. Julian Martínez took two powerful shots, but both went wide of the carpenter’s goal. Marlon ‘Machuca’ Ramírez had Genesis 0-1 on a counterattack, however, he wasted the play and took a deflected shot.

In the second half of the match there was a heart-stopping finish, but the Génesis defense and Gerson Argueta prevented the match from going into overtime.

But, before that, Tilguath’s team had already had the opportunity to finish the series. At 49′, Lasso connected with a header, making it 0-1 and missing the opportunity to increase the overall advantage.

Ten minutes later, Elmer Güity came close to breaking Fonseca’s goal with a free kick, but it went over the crossbar.

Time was advancing and the Colts could not find a way to open the can and break the Genesis wall. Sellecchia had it again and missed in front of the frame.

In the last minutes Ángel Tejeda entered, who in his first intervention left the ball loose and hit it, but the Génesis defense resolved on the line.

In the 85th minute, García took a volley shot and was close to scoring a great goal. With a heart-stopping finish, in added time Argueta as the savior took and sent what was the Colts’ tie to the corner kick with a tremendous shot.

Gerson Argueta’s tremendous save at the end of the game.

And if we talk about opportunities, Kemsie Abbot in the 90+5′ sent a header over the carpenter’s goal. However, the last one was saved on the line by Padilla Discua, he avoided the overtime goal and ended in a goalless draw.

With this result, Génesis advanced to the semifinals of the National League for the second time and is among the top four. His rival in the next phase will be Marathón, leader of the regular laps.

Olancho FC was left without playing the semifinals again in the Honduran National League.
