Alianza advances to the Quarterfinals.

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras – The 2026 Concacaf Central American Cup continued on Wednesday with Alianza FC defeating CD Marathón 1-0 in Group B at Estadio Francisco Morazán in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

After a scoreless opening period, the visitors broke the deadlock in the 62’, with Matías Mier capitalizing on a line-splitting ball and finding the back of the net with a first-time, left-footed hit from just outside the box.

Alianza goalkeeper Mario González marked his first appearance of the campaign with a standout performance, recording a save and recording a clean sheet.

With the result in its final Group Stage match, Alianza secured its place in the Quarterfinals.

Marathón will play its final Group B match next Wednesday, August 26, with the Honduran side set to host Real Estelí FC.
