Match

edit

On a mostly cloudy night, the game started at 19:15 CST as scheduled. It was the first time in Honduran football that a game was officiated by female referees at a professional level.[3] Both teams entered the field with their alternate uniforms. C.D. Honduras Progreso's attacker Ángel Tejeda scored first with a penalty kick at the 26th minute after Club Deportivo Olimpia's defender Bryan Johnson committed a foul inside the 18-yard box. In the second half, Olimpia made three consecutive goals at the 52nd, 57th and 65th minutes, scored by Carlo Costly, José Fonseca and Bryan Johnson respectively. Johny Gómez scored the 2–3 for Honduras Progreso at the 69th minute and Nixon Duarte tied the game at the 73rd before the end of regulation. The match went straight to penalty shoot-outs where Olimpia won 5–4. During the shoot-outs, Jorge Cardona's kick went so wide and high he sent the ball outside the stadium.[4]
