There are only two dates left until the end of the qualifying stage of the 107th Opening Tournament. National Football League of Cuba and at the moment almost nothing is determined for the match for the first title of the year.

The fifth date of the fight, played last Wednesday, brought change at the top of the West, while on the other side of the country, the “penthouse” retained the same tenant as it had in recent weeks.

At the Pepe Suárez Stadium in Matanzas, Havana almost in time broke the unbeaten locals record with a goal by Juart del Pratt and thus scored 13 points, which allowed them to climb to first place in Group A, with one more than those of Athens Cuba .

Also in the west, Artemisa won 3-0 over a team from Villa Clara who had not scored a single point at the fair so far. Goals “gladiators” got on account of Romario Torres, Dario Ramos and Carlos Amores.

For their part, Mayabeque also penetrated the wound of the great, defeating Pinar del Río 4-1 that week after a week of losing battles to once again be that team that aims for everything. Lauder Castaneda, Osniel Pedroso, Yoan Capote and Yasmani Cohimbra honored the inhabitants of the young province, while José Ciprian Alfonso honored the vueltabajero.

Finally, in Group A, the Isla de la Juventud Cienfuegos, which had been agreed to play at El Rodeo’s south course, had to be postponed.

On the same day in section B, Santiago de Cuba hit the table and thrashed Las Tunas 6-0 with goals from Rolando Abreu, Yasmani Fero, Luis Ciudad, Pablo Labrada and another own goal by Leandro Pérez 25, while the same time that Juan Andreus discounts Las Tunas.

Since this triumph, the Red Devils have already amassed 13 streaks, three more than their Guantánamo escorts, 2-0 winners Sancti Spiritus with goals from Alexei Suaznabar and Hanier Drange. Seeing what has been seen, with two games to complete this phase, it looks like it’s hard for the Reds not to get an Eastern ticket to the final match.
