MIXCO, Guatemala (Interstat) — Mixco and Mictlan opened their Liga Nacional campaigns with a 2-2 draw on Thursday at Estadio Santo Domingo. The result defied pregame projections that heavily favored the home side.

Mictlan’s Nicolas Martinez opened the scoring in the fourth minute. Mixco’s Sebastián Colón then scored twice, in the 56th and 67th minutes, to give his club a late lead. Mictlan found an equalizer to secure the road point.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 1-1 draw, but its ELO rating system gave Mixco a 74.8% probability to win outright. Both clubs now hold identical records of 0 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw in the Guatemalan league and across all competitions this season.
