The meringues added their thirteenth victory of the tournament after 16 dates and were one victory away from breaking their own points record.
The walk in the park continues for Olimpia in the regular laps and despite having the lead in their pocket they do not give up ground. They are one win away from breaking their own points record.
This is how the Apertura 2023 standings go in Honduras
Last night’s 3-1 victory against the UPN Lobos has the melenudos with 42 points in the Apertura tournament, with two more equaling the records they established in the 2019 Apertura when Pedro Troglio coached in his first championship.
With two more games, six points in dispute, León is savoring setting a new record in the National League. The most points in regular rounds of short tournaments.

The scholars generated the formula for the surprise on the grass of the National Chelato Uclés stadium, where the rain was present. Excellent combination between Meléndez, Baptiste and Moncada, where the youth Justin Ponce appeared between the defense and made it 1-0 at minute 27. It was the first goal for the 18-year-old boy.
The pressure was handled by Olimpia due to the surprise of the visit. Jorge Álvarez pulled a rabbit hat on the show. He took the direct free kick and went to the corner of the goal defended by Denovan Torres and made it 1-1 (34).
And to avoid complications, the second arrived after having started the plugin. Jorge Álvarez started the play, he gave Araújo for the center, Arboleda placed the ball to Benguché and he celebrated the 2-1 score with another header (48) and came back.

Baptiste silenced the Nacional with his missile that crashed into the horizontal and almost tied it. The Wolves fought, but they did not find the way to equality.
During that period, the third and final Mr. Jerry Bengtson appeared as the protagonist. Álvarez filtered the ball to Kevin López, who gained depth and saved the merengue striker who scored his eighth goal of the championship with his right foot. Final whistle and the whites still don’t know what it’s like to lose in the Apertura 2023. 13 wins in 16 possible games.
