It's back home for Guanacasteca, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating San Carlos away with the result 1-0. J. Bolaños found the net in that victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of L. Fallas Arias when J. Bolaños scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Perez Zeledon.
