Umecit, protagonist in LPF’s Aperture 2024

Until now, the Umecita team has performed its best “result” version in the highest category of Panamanian football and the proof of this is that they are the leaders in their conference, but for their coach, the Spaniard Miguel Corral, he thinks that it is not enough and is looking for more.

“We failed in the first half,” said coach Miguel Corrales, referring to the fact that in the meeting with Potros his team gave up in the first 45 minutes, and because of that he asked the players, Panamanian and foreign, to “adapt” because they have very ambitious project and little time.

Although he admitted that they improved in the second half against Potros even with Jesús Araya’s shot on the post, Corral did not hide his discomfort with Umecito’s performance, regardless of the result.

Corrales was clear in his words: “I’m leaving upset, not because of the result, that’s fine, the point was added, but I want my team to grow,” he said.

Umecit finished the match with one player less, when Josthyn Tenorio, who had only a few minutes on the field, was sent off with a red card, and in the 90th minute he was red-painted.

The Spaniard added that he was hired for “something important in Umecito and he cannot agree to expulsions, seven dates were played at the most and they had expulsions and one less player in four games.
