Plaza Amador keeps the pressure on in Panama’s local league after a 2-0 win over Sporting San Miguelito, and now shifts focus to the 2025 Concacaf Central American Cup.
The victory over “La Academia” came with goals from Ovidio López (12 minutes) and Aimar Sánchez (38 minutes), taking Plaza to 15 points from five matches and cementing their lead in the East division of Clausura 2025.
Their next mission is Managua FC of Nicaragua, set to meet on Tuesday at the Rommel Fernández stadium in the Concacaf Central American Cup 2025. Plaza Amador, coached by Mario Méndez, sit atop Group A with 6 points, while Managua FC are at the bottom of the group after three games without points.
Coach Méndez rotated several players in the Sporting San Miguelito match, aiming to keep his key troops fresh for the international clash. The team known as El Equipo del Pueblo also posted results in the regional tournament, beating Alajuelense 1-2 and Antigua 3-5, and now have a real chance to secure a spot in the quarterfinals with a victory over Managua.
Domestically, Plaza Amador has now gone 13 matches without a loss. Their last defeat was a 0-2 setback to Tauro on April 13 in the Apertura 2025.
Context and outlook: Plaza Amador’s current form and squad depth potently position them to advance in the regional competition and carry momentum into the Clausura. A positive result against Managua could seal progression and set the stage for a strong run in the knockout rounds.
Summary: Plaza Amador extended its unbeaten streak and strengthened its position in the Concacaf Central American Cup with a pivotal upcoming clash against Managua FC, while maintaining leadership atop their domestic league.
