SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (March 1, 2026) (Interstat) — Marathon opened its Liga Nacional season with a 2-1 victory over rival Olimpia on Sunday at Estadio Yankel Rosenthal.

The home side secured the win despite pregame projections favoring the visitors. Interstat’s ELO system gave Olimpia a 51 percent probability to win, and its simulator predicted a 1-1 draw.
