A shocking tackle in the Honduras top flight left commentators horrified and upset.<\/p>\n
CD Marathon suffered a 1-0 defeat to league leaders Olimpia in Liga Nacional. Despite the obscurity of the Honduran league, the match attracted worldwide attention due to a violent double-tackle that occurred just moments after Kevin Lopez\u2019s 84th minute winner.<\/p>\n
Marathon defender Andre Orellana was shown a straight red card for his crunching challenge on two players. Footage which has since gone viral on social media shows Orellana chasing a loose ball before deciding to fly in late, with studs showing, into opponents Carlos Pineda and German Mejia. <\/p>\n
