CD Marathon and Hispano Equalize After A Lengthy and Intense Game

The venerable clubs CD Marathon and Hispano faced each other in one of the toughest games in the Honduran League. The game took place in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

The team went wild, and Hispano started to play in a disorganized manner. Orvin Paz was able to score the equalizer within 72 minutres with another direct kick.

Both teams attempted to break the tie, but at least the last few minutes was one of intensity. CD Marathon and Hispano were galvanized but did not have enough force to win the game.

The end result was that CD Marathon is now tied with Real Espana in the Honduran League Classification, while Hispano remains in the lower tier.

In other news, CD Marathon was selected by International Federation of Football History and Statistics as one of the best in Honduras.
