Olimpia defeated Marathón 1-0 in one of the classics of Honduran soccer this Sunday. Although Kevin López’s goal in the 84th minute was the one that defined the match, the play that is already traveling around the world due to its vehemence was an expulsion recorded in the 89th minute.
André Orellana, a player from the losing team, threw himself forward with his sole extended flat and with momentum, without the slightest intention of contesting the ball. The referee had no choice but to send him off.
The curious thing about the infraction was that, with a single blow, it left two players feeling. Carlos Pineda and Germán Mejía ended up on the ground, although they got it cheaply and were able to continue playing in the team that has Jorge Benguché, a forward who in the first half of 2022 played 16 games in Cerro Largo and contributed a goal.
On the other side, defender Sebastián Gorga and attacker Nicolás Royón started.
Olimpia is first at the end of the eighth round of the Honduran Apertura Tournament with 17 points and a game in hand, and Marathón is sixth and in playoff positions with 10 points.
