Tegucigalpa, 19 Mar Real España, led by Argentina's Héctor Vargas, defeated Platense 3-2 and momentarily assumed the lead of the Clausura tournament at the start of matchday 11, which will close on Sunday with two matches. Vargas's team ratified their good run that has led them to win seven straight matches, after a start with four defeats, which they had for several days in last place. Today, he took the lead with 21 points and was waiting for what Olimpia will do on Sunday, which escorts him with 19. Franklin Flores, Marco Aceituno and Kevin Álvarez, the latter from penalty, scored for Real España, while Platense discounted through Jorge Cardona and André Orellana. Vargas, who replaced Mexico's Raúl “Potro” Gutiérrez on the bench at Real España after four defeats in a row, has given the club a complete turn, while Platense continues to penalty in last place and at risk of being relegated to the second division. Vida, at home, with Portuguese Fernando Mira as helmsman, beat Motagua 2-0 at home, who added his third consecutive defeat with his new provisional coach, César “Nene” Obando, who replaced Argentine-Honduran Diego Vázquez, who led him for eight years. The goals for Vida were converted by Colombian Rafael Agámez and Alexander Aguilar. With Obando, Motagua fell in a game in which they failed to define when they reached the rival area, which was also evidenced by the poor sum of goals, ten in eleven games, in addition to receiving ten against, four wins, three draws and four defeats. With today's fall, Motagua dropped to fifth place with fifteen points, while Vida rose to fourth, with 17. In today's third game, very bright, the locals of the Universidad Pedagógica tied 2-2 with Honduras Progreso. Rembrandt Flores and Cesar Guillén scored for Universidad Pedagógica, while Honduras Progreso tied the game with Erick Andino and Selvin Guevara. On Sunday, Real Sociedad will measure forces against Victoria, while Olimpia, led by Argentina's Pablo Lavallén, will host the Marathon, in a Honduran national football classic. CHIEF gr/ics
