Sporting San José form and stats
They also participated in Copa Costa Rica last season. This ended in the quarter-finals, when Cartagines drew the shortest straw.The manager Hernández was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estadio Jorge Hernán Cuty Monge. Sporting San José suffered a 3-4 loss to Municipal Liberia. An insane fixture with heaps of goals last time out for José, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that game, will this fixture be as much fun?
It was a Primera Division defeat before that one as the away game against Guanacasteca wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sporting San José manager Hernández as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Pérez Zeledón.
