Atlético Paso Held to Draw by Mensajero as Title Race Tightens
Atlético Paso’s lead in the standings narrowed after conceding a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Mensajero.
Atlético Paso remains near the top of the standings, though their lead has narrowed following a 1-1 draw against Mensajero. Despite taking the lead, the team couldn't hold on, allowing their opponents to snatch a point in the final minutes.
The match highlighted just how competitive the division is, where even a single defensive mistake can change the outcome. After a first half defined by back-and-forth play and missed chances from the hosts, the deadlock was finally broken ten minutes into the second half. Samu Corral scored a brilliant free kick, putting Atlético Paso in a strong position to win.
However, the home side’s defense faltered in the 84th minute. A lapse allowed David Grande to chip the ball over goalkeeper Roberto Gutiérrez, leveling the score. The result puts added pressure on Atlético Paso, as San Fernando—currently three points behind—has a game in hand, tightening the race for the top spot.
