Match The game started at 19:00 CST as scheduled. Club Deportivo Olimpia entered the field with their alternate uniform, while Juticalpa F.C. used their home kits. Olimpia's recently signed midfielder Brayan Velásquez opened the scoreboard at the 24th minute. Before the end of the first half, Olimpia's coach Héctor Vargas instructed his players to abandon the match claiming that Juticalpa was playing too violent and the referee was being too permissive. Minutes after, Olimpia decided to resume the game. The second half started despite the first one didn't end. Adding to the controversy, referee Héctor Núñez, who had sent-off Olimpia's defender Elmer Güity in the first half, allowed Olimpia to make a substitution in the second half and let them resume the match with eleven players; failing to execute Law 12. Michaell Chirinos (66th) and Óscar Salas (81st) sealed the victory and gave Olimpia its 3rd ever Honduran Supercup.DiarioMas.hn – ¡Olimpia campeón de la Supercopa de Honduras! – 30 December 2016
