The match, corresponding to matchday 8, took place at the stadium of the Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica Madre y Maestra, in a tournament dedicated to Jos\u00e9 Rafael Abinader.\n\nWith this victory, Cibao FC adds 18 points, distancing itself from its direct rival, which remained with 15 units.\n\nThe goal that defined the match came in the 61st minute, when Roces connected a powerful shot that went into the goal, leaving goalkeeper Cristian Severino with no chance and unleashing the euphoria of the fans present.\n\nDespite the defeat, Salcedo FC fought tirelessly, but encountered a defensive wall led by Miguel Lloyd, who frustrated every goal attempt by the visiting team.\n\nIn the first half, Cibao FC suffered the injury of Walter Acu\u00f1a in the 39th minute, being replaced by Wilman Modesta. Near halftime, Jean Carlos L\u00f3pez was close to scoring with a powerful shot that hit the post.\n\nThe second half began without changes, but with the same intensity.
