A week, they say, is a long time in politics...
It can be an even longer time in football, and with 23 days to go until the Impact next take the field, their opponents CD Olimpia, are in tip-top league form. With a one-goal deficit to claw back, the Impact will be hoping the Lions are peaking way too soon.
This afternoon they thrashed struggling Real Sociedad (not the Spanish one) 5-0 at their Estadio Tiburco Carias Andino. It was a fourth win in-a-row, a run which began with a 2-1 Liga Nacional win over arch-rivals Motagua, the side which heads them by a point at the top of Apertura Group B.
