Olimpia Aims for Final Spot Against Victoria in Clausura Semifinals

Tegucigalpa, Honduras – Club Deportivo Olimpia and Victoria will face off today to determine the second finalist of the 2025 Torneo Clausura in Honduras. The match is taking place at 7:30 p.m. local time at the Estadio Nacional.

Olimpia enters the match with a comfortable 2-0 lead from the first leg, which they won on May 14. Goals from Carlos Pineda and Jorge Benguché secured their advantage in San Pedro Sula. Now in front of their home crowd, the Lions are looking to seal their place in the finals.

In the first leg, Olimpia dominated the match, showing strong performance and teamwork. “We have the advantage, but we need to remain focused,” said coach Pedro Troglio in a press conference earlier this week. “Every game is different, and we must respect Victoria.”

Victoria, under the guidance of manager Luis Alvarado, aims to turn the tables and overcome the deficit. They secured their spot in the semifinals after eliminating Marathón in the repechaje on penalties. Victoria has played a total of 20 matches in the current tournament, while Olimpia has 18.

Both teams have faced challenges this season, but Olimpia’s strong finish in the regular season gave them a direct spot in the semifinals. The match promises to be intense as both teams strive to claim victory and advance to the finals.
