A strong away win for Española against Deportivo Maldonado the last match, as S. Ramírez were on target. Manager J. Mozzo Valdéz felt very clever after S. Ramírez scored the winning goal against Deportivo Maldonado, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 63rd minute.

Heartbreak before that as Española lost 0-5 at Torque's place.

The Española fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Villa Española have conceded 11 goals. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
