W Connection crumble to second heavy loss

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (CMC) – W Connection’s poor run in the CONCACAF Champions League continued on Thursday when they crashed to a 4-0 defeat to Deportivo Saprissa.Playing in their second game of the competition, the Trinidadian outfit conceded two goals in each half to fall to their second successive 4-0 loss, following their whipping at the hands of Santos Laguna in their first-round game earlier this month in Torreón.
Their latest defeat left them bottom of Group A without a point or a goal to their name, and virtually in need of a miracle to make it out of the preliminary stage.
Deyver Vega opened the scoring in the 31st minute Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá after evading a defender in the box and slotting past goalkeeper Julani Archibald.
Five minutes before the break, David Guzman added a second when a rebound fell to the 25-year-old who made no mistake from close range.
Already behind by two goals at the break, W Connection suffered even more anguish when they conceded a third goal in the 69th through substitute David Ramirez.
On the field for only five minutes, Ramirez pounced on a loose ball to net after Archibald had spilled an initial volley from Mynor Escoe.
With the game long gone, Archibald did well to save from the penalty spot from Ariel Rodriguez in the 89th minute after Alvin Jones was adjudged to have brought down Dylan Flores.
However, Saprissa would not be denied as Flores added a fourth deep in stoppage.
