MIAMI – The excitement of the 2025 Concacaf Central American Cup unfolds as CD Plaza Amador prepares to take on Sporting San Miguelito in the Second Leg of their Play-In series on Wednesday at Estadio Rommel Fernández in Panama City, Panama.
After a tightly contested First Leg that ended in a 1-nil victory for Sporting San Miguelito, they enter the matchup with a slight advantage. The decisive goal came from Martín Ruiz, while the team’s defense was bolstered by impressive performances from goalkeepers Marcos De León and Kevin Mosquera, who helped maintain the clean sheet despite losing a player to injury before halftime.
Plaza Amador, on the other hand, is determined to overturn the deficit and make a statement in its debut campaign in the tournament. Historically, they have shown resilience, having advanced in five out of their 13 prior appearances in two-legged series.
The rules for the competition add an extra layer of intrigue, with the away goals rule serving as the primary tiebreaker in case of an aggregate draw. If Plaza Amador manages to secure a 1-nil victory, the match will be pushed into extra time, and if needed, a penalty shootout to determine the ultimate winner.
The stakes are high, as the winner of this pivotal series will earn the last coveted spot in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup through their performance in the Central American Cup. Fans can expect an exhilarating encounter as both teams fight for the opportunity to advance.
