Controversy

  • According to the regulations of the competition, the final series (enforced for the first time this season) were supposed to be played in a home and away format. However, after C.D. España defeated C.D. Motagua 0–1 in the first leg, they traveled back to San Pedro Sula claiming the title and went on to celebrate in front of their fan base, thus misunderstanding the newly implemented rules. Motagua's president Pedro Atala Simón in order to avoid further conflicts, desisted in playing the second leg and granted the title which at that time represented the first championship to España and to the city of San Pedro Sula itself.[4]
