During the eighth game of the 2023 Opening Tournament of Honduran soccer, André Orellana infamously made a name for himself worldwide for his inexcusable behavior in the country's soccer classic between Olimpia and Marathon. The defender was expelled from the match after delivering a flying kick to two former teammates. The commentators on the official broadcast showed both surprise and indignation, highlighting the seriousness of his actions.
With only 21 years old, the defender had a unique confrontation, especially since earlier in the year, he had extended his loan from the previous season, moving from Olimpia to Marathon. This context added weight to the fact that he would be competing against his colleagues Germán Mejía and Carlos Pineda.
