COMAYAGUA, Honduras (April 22, 2026) (Interstat) — Olimpia opened its Liga Nacional campaign with a 2-1 victory over rival Marathon on Wednesday after a flurry of early goals at Estadio Municipal Carlos Miranda.

The hosts struck first in the fifth minute when Jerry Bengtson found the net. Marathon’s César Samudio equalized just three minutes later, but Olimpia’s Juan Hernández delivered the decisive goal in the 11th minute, completing a frantic opening sequence.

The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Olimpia an 83.7% chance to win but predicted a narrower 1-0 scoreline. With the win, Olimpia begins the season 1-0, while Marathon starts 0-1.
