Regrettable! With 12 minutes left in the 90 minutes of regulation time, the Ceibeño Stadium ran out of electricity during a game they were playing Victory and Genesis for day 2 of the Opening 2024.
In view of this repetitive problem, the National League confirmed that the match is rescheduled for this Sunday, August 4 at 1 p.m. at the same Ceibeño Stadium.
Both delegations waited for more than 40 minutes for the return of electricity despite the immediate management of the ENEEwho were unable to reestablish artificial light in the coastal colossus.

GAME ACTIONS
Victoria and Génesis tied 2-2 at the Ceibeño stadium on matchday 2 of the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Honduran National League.
Genesis scored twice in the first half, but before the two goals, José Mendoza, the “Albizul” goalkeeper, saved a penalty in the 20th minute, after Machuca Ramírez shot to the left side of La Jaiba’s goal.

But four minutes later the “Carpinteros” took the lead after a challenge by Machuca Ramírez who pushed the ball in at minute 24′. The attacker headed the ball and ended up beating the former Olimpia goalkeeper.
Ten minutes later, Stiven Dávila extended the lead after the death of Machuca Ramírez. The defender pushed the ball in for the provisional 0-2 and unleashed madness on the Carpenter bench.

Victoria’s response came just as the second half began. Colombian Luis Hurtado reduced the deficit by volleying the ball past the lower right corner of goalkeeper Gerson Argueta in the 56th minute.
Five minutes later, Rolando Blackburn headed the ball into the right corner of Argueta, who tried to reach the ball, but his left hand made things worse by putting the ball into his own goal for the 2-2 in a match that was not suspended due to a power shortage after the 78th minute.
