In a tense match on matchday 10 of the Clausura 2024 season of the National League of Honduras, Fútbol Club Motagua managed to secure a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Olancho FC. The Argentine coach of Motagua, Diego Vázquez, admitted in a press conference after the game that his team was outplayed at various stages by their opponents.
One of the key decisions made by Vázquez was to substitute Rubilio Castillo at the start of the second half, despite the striker being the top scorer in the history of the club. The coach explained that it was a tactical move as they changed their system to play with a single striker and more wide players.
Despite the challenging first half, Vázquez praised his team for adapting well to the field and being solid defensively. The draw was seen as a positive result given the circumstances of the game.
Looking ahead, Vázquez mentioned that his team will have a long week of preparation as the upcoming classic match will not be played due to players joining the National Team. He emphasized the need to continue improving and fine-tuning their game.
The coach also took issue with the number of yellow cards given by the central referee during the match, suggesting that some of the decisions were not consistent. Despite this, Vázquez remained focused on the team’s performance and the areas they need to work on.
Overall, the draw against Olancho FC was a hard-fought result for Fútbol Club Motagua, and the team will now turn their attention to their upcoming matches with a renewed focus on improving their performances.
