Xelajú MC Prepares for Crucial Match Against San Miguelito in Central American Cup

Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá — Xelajú MC wrapped up its training on October 1, 2025, in preparation for a critical match against Sporting San Miguelito in the return leg of the Central American Cup quarterfinals. The Guatemalan team heads into the match, set for October 2, looking to protect a two-goal advantage gained in the first leg.
Coach Amarini Villatoro emphasized the importance of focus and discipline to avoid any surprises from the home team. ‘There are no excuses for not playing well. We need to deliver a solid performance and remain focused on our strategy,’ Villatoro said. He acknowledged that while his team holds an advantage, they must not underestimate their opponents.
