With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Liga Nacional game of the season. Platense look forward to welcoming Real España in front of their home support.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga Nacional. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Vida.
Platense form and stats
Platense shared the glory with Vida in their last match, an away game that ended all square 3-3. Ahead of that match, Platense won a home game hosting Real España (2-1).
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Vida last time out, but a goal from Álvaro Martín De Frías completed a comeback to a draw result for Platense. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
