Today,December 12, Game 2 of the final of the closing tournament will take place between LD Alajuelense and Deportivo Saprissa, the two rivals and top winners of the First Division of Costa Rica. Here is all the related information about this Liga FPD Game 2 including the preview, storylines, predictions, odds and how to watch or live stream it in the US.
It will be the decisive match, the one that determines who of the two will win the title of champion of this Apertura 2021 Tournament. In Game 1, Deportivo Saprissa won 2-1 at home, in a match not without controversy due to the questionable expulsion of the midfielder “Manudo” Bernald Alfaro Alfaro, by the referee (action for which the Alajuela club requested that an investigation be opened).
Undoubtedly we can expect a quite attractive match, where the locals, forced by the negative result obtained in Game 1, will go out in search of equality, while the visitors will try to land the final blow that finally gives them the title number 37 in their history. In the case of Alajuelense, if they win, it would be their 31st title.
