CD Achuapa 0 – 1 Fraijanes FC
Guatemala Division 2 • 27 July 2026

Fraijanes FC claimed a vital away victory in Guatemala’s Segunda División, edging past CD Achuapa 1–0 at the Estadio Municipal de Achuapa. The result lifts Fraijanes into the playoff conversation, while Achuapa remain in the bottom half of the table.

Match summary

The game was a typical lower‑division scrap – physical, tight, and decided by a single moment of quality. Achuapa enjoyed the better of the first half, pressing high and forcing Fraijanes into several errors. Home striker Andy López had two presentable chances: a header that sailed over in the 18th minute and a low drive that was tipped wide by visiting goalkeeper Óscar Alvarado in the 34th minute.

Fraijanes grew into the game after the break, with midfielder Carlos Bautista pulling the strings. The breakthrough came in the 62nd minute. A quick free‑kick caught the Achuapa defence static, and Bautista slid a pass through to winger Edwin Santizo, who cut inside onto his right foot and curled a precise shot into the far corner.

Second‑half resilience

Achuapa pushed for an equaliser, introducing fresh legs up front, but Fraijanes defended deep and in numbers. Alvarado was called into action again in the 74th minute, producing a fine reflex save to deny substitute José Chacón from point‑blank range. Fraijanes also threatened on the break, and Santizo could have sealed the win late on but dragged his shot wide.

Key performers

Edwin Santizo was the match‑winner, showing quality in the final third when it mattered most. Óscar Alvarado kept a clean sheet and made three crucial saves. For Achuapa, Andy López worked hard but lacked support; the team’s inability to convert chances continues to be a concern.

Table context

The victory moves Fraijanes FC up to 5th in the Grupo B standings with 10 points from 7 matches, just two points behind the promotion playoff places. CD Achuapa remain in 8th with 6 points, now three points adrift of the playoff zone. Both sides will look to build momentum in the highly competitive Division 2 as the season approaches its midpoint.
