LD Alajuelense vs Chorrillo - 2025-26 Concacaf W Champions Cup - Group Stage

Good evening. Welcome in to the Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto in Alajuela, Costa Rica. It's the final day of the group stage for both of these sides as they try and avoid the bottom of the group. To avoid last place in the group and away we go from the Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto. It is Alajuelense playing host each side with a debutante goalkeeper in the competition here tonight as Alajuelense pressing high. Win it high up the park and win the game's first corner. Better options as the shot wanders closer to the corner flag in the ends. Work rate there from Palacio. Sprint back and get back involved in the play but now over the top for Varela. Goes for a cross-court shot and Varela scores! Ten minutes gone. Alajuelense strike first. One nil to the red and blacks. Sofia Varela scores their first goal of the tournament. Beautiful first time pop over the top. She picked that out. Perez standing over it. She goes for goal! Tipped on to the bar! That's a magnificent save! Still one nil to Alajuelense. A venomous strike from Caida Perez. But it's her namesake, Diana Perez. Magnificent from Perez. It does result in a corner for Chorrillo. Ball in is a good one and it's top off just wide. Will do it for the first half. Miscue along the back line and now Chorrillo will go from the halfway line. Little red on the bounce there from Perez. Nearly 36 yards out. Caida Perez takes a deep breath. Perez goes for goal. Perez! Denied once more by Diana Perez! Perez after a free kick has been given to Chorrillo. Look at the swerve off the dead ball hit from Caida Perez. Angling towards the yellow and blue. Make it five inside the area with one waiting just out. Perez steps over. Palacio whips it on frame. Another fabulous bit of goalkeeping from Perez. She bats it down and holds under pressure. Chorrillo on the counter through Guerra. A willing runner in the second half. One on one. She's into the area. Guerra going towards the byline. Guerra! Draws the save at the near post. Corner kick for Chorrillo. Back for Perez. Perez whips a cross in! Offside flag comes up to deny Chorrillo their first goal at the W Champions Cup. Palacio took a wild swing on the overhead. Valencia struggling to clear their lines. Long range hit. Again, Perez is up to the challenge. Now Guillen trying to turn defense into attack. Over the top for Gilbertson. Onto the second ball. Right into fines. Chorrillo with options. The back heel is on. Robles takes it first time. It's a tame effort in the end. In the attacking box. That's a bit too cute. Villalobos turns it over. Another save from Perez. We're into the final four minutes. One more time at the end of the match. Rivera. Rivera! Rattles the crossbar. Rivera. Howitzer from long range. Dipping but not quite in time. Full time whistle. Alohuelense victorious on the final group stage match as they vanquish Chorrillo FC by a score of one to nil thanks to Sofia Varela.
