QUETZALTENANGO, Guatemala (March 1, 2026) (Interstat) — José Alvarado Rodríguez scored in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time to salvage a 3-3 draw for Coatepeque against Xelajú in a frenetic Liga Nacional match Sunday at Estadio Mario Camposeco.

The visitors twice held a lead, but Xelajú mounted a fierce comeback in the final minutes. Coatepeque’s Joël Tagueu opened the scoring in the 54th minute, beginning a remarkable stretch of four goals in nine minutes. Nguyễn Văn Tùng and Tagueu scored for Coatepeque, with Luiz Antônio answering for Xelajú.

Tùng’s second goal in the 73rd put Coatepeque ahead 3-1, but Rimario Gordon cut the deficit in the 82nd. Gerson Betuel Tinoco Carbajal leveled the match for Xelajú in the 89th minute, seemingly securing a point before Alvarado Rodríguez struck deep into added time. The result defied pre-game projections that heavily favored the home side.
