A New Hope for Condors. Fundidores Fall Again

Condors 14-12 Fundidores

The prime time Mexican football game was between the Fundidores, from Monterrey, visiting the Condors in Mexico City. It was a difficult defensive game for both teams that were looking for their second win in the season. Now 1-3 for Fundidores it would be difficult to overcome. 

The Condors started with QB Arturo Sánchez and had complications in the passing game. But in one 3down and 1 yard to go, Sánchez threw a deep ball and was intercepted. Then, there was a QB change for Salvador Castañeda. Some of their QR had important receptions like Mosqueda, N. 21, and Luis Hernandez, N. 17. But at the end of the first half, they were 6-7. At the end of the game, Condors were able to run the ball and score a TD to score 14 points.

On the other hand, the Fundidores had a strong offensive line and a good QB, Gustavo Vega, but they were unable to score points with their offense, even though they were taking advantage of Condors secondary defense, which had had problems in the past games. But in the second half, Fundidores looked tired at the end of the 4th quarter, the defense missed some important tackles, and the OL allowed 5 sacks. Actually, the game ended with a sack. It could be the height of Mexico City, or the complications during the trip –the norm for a LFA team is that they travel the same day of the game. Finally, their special teams, as every game had problems and it was an important factor for Fundidores  loss. They missed a FG and one extra point, 4 points that would have been useful in a closed game, which ended 16-14.

Mayas Survive a Furious Eagles Comeback and Reclaim Their Victory in Epic Fashion

Eagles 24-27 Mayas It was a great day for a football game. The tone was set in the "Palillo" stadium to continue the activities for week 5 of the LFA Football tournament. The actors were more than ready. Eagles and Mayas knew perfectly what was at stake  – w in and take the leadership of the Suerox Division , or go home thinking about your damaged aspirations for the playoff dream. The first quarter opened hostilities with the Eagles choosing to receive the football immediately. A not so wise decision, given that Vladimir Araiza, N. 33, muffed the kickoff and left the Mayas team in their own 1-yard-line mark. Raúl Mateos, N.18, started as QB and began making plays with his legs, giving the Eagles room to breathe and operate their first offensive series. Then, Mateos made the first connection with Araiza, N. 33, to grant a first down and keeping their attack close to midfield. A couple of creative option plays showed the versatility of Mateos work, who pu...

LFA: First Week Hits and Problems

This weekend started the Mexican Football League LFA. There was a great expectation of the second season of the league. There were new teams on the north, new players, and more media coverage. And we were expecting to be more professional. In this post I will point out some of the hits and problems that the league had in general during the first week. As a hit, I believe that diversifying the location of some teams will allow more people to go to these games in different cities such as in Saltillo, Monterrey or Naucalpan. The matchups were really intresting and most of them were fun and entertaining. That is the main point of this league and sport. And finally, I saw some improvement in the way players performed.
