Real España and UPNFM are impatient to let the world see their new recruits and finesse: It's the first match of the Liga Nacional season.
Real España have less rest than UPNFM in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Concacaf League game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Real Esteli, so at least España are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
