Aggregate table

Relegation was determined by the aggregated table of both Apertura and Clausura tournaments. After 36 rounds, C.D. Real de Minas, Juticalpa F.C. and C.D. Honduras Progreso finished with 31 points each, with the goal difference being irrelevant. All three teams had to play a one round-robin playoff to determine the team to be relegated. It was only the second time in league's history that three teams were involved in a relegation triangular, the first one being held back in 1989.[10]

Controversies

  • Right off the start of the season, week 1 was involved with controversy. Platense F.C. accused F.C. Motagua for instructing the ball boys of hiding and holding the sideline balls in the last minutes of play, making it difficult to resume the game when the match ball went out of play. Motagua was later fined for this action.[11] That same day, in San Pedro Sula, C.D. Marathón requested C.D.S. Vida players to pay tribute to the club with El Pasillo, (the act of acknowledging the winners of the previous season), a tradition which is very popular in Spain, but not in Honduras. The Vida footballers strongly rejected the request.[12] One week later, Vida simulated the Pasillo action after scoring a goal against Juticalpa F.C., a clear sign of mockery.
  • After a 1–1 draw between C.D. Marathón and Club Deportivo Olimpia in the Clásico Nacional on week 3, a very irritated Marathón's coach Héctor Vargas, criticized the referee's performance and insinuated Olimpia's intervention at halftime by calling the referees to fix the match.[13] Vargas also stated that his team with few resources is fighting on all fronts, and others with greater investments made a fool of themselves at international competitions; a clear dart to Real C.D. España who were eliminated from the 2018 CONCACAF League a few days earlier. Olimpia's manager, Nahúm Espinoza decided not to comment. However, Real España's Martín García expressed that Vargas is a very harmful person and his comments only reflect cowardice.[14] Vargas replied back and called García a fat man.[15] Vargas later announced that he will keep silent for 90 days; however, the Northern Discipline Commission cited Vargas to testify for violating discriminatory codes.[16] He was suspended for three games.[17]
  • On week 5, Real C.D. España faced C.D. Marathón in the Clásico Sampedrano. In the pre-match, the game was already heated. Real España as hosts, announced that only people dressed with the home team colors would be allowed to access the stadium. The game elapsed with normalcy until Real España missed a penalty kick, which provoked the fury of the local crowd. A few fans invaded the pitch but were easily controlled by the police. A few minutes before the end, Marathón's keeper Dénovan Torres hit one of the sideline ball boys. This action triggered an energetic response from the Real España's subs which were warming up nearby. Torres and the entire Marathón's technical staff were expelled from the game. Some Marathón fans, including women, were beaten in the stands by their counterparts. Marathón requested the league the closure of the venue and Real España sued Torres for his actions. These and many other sanctions were imposed by the league.[18]
  • On 28 August 2018, the Central Discipline Regional Commission ruled in favor of C.D. Marathón awarding them a 3–0 victory over Juticalpa F.C. as a result of Juticalpa fielding defender Carlos Palacios on week 4. Palacios was ineligible to play due to his misconduct on the previous game against C.D. Honduras Progreso. Consequently, Marathón submitted the complaint and was granted the win. The original score ended in a 1–1 tie; therefore Marathón was awarded two points and Juticalpa was deducted one.[19]
  • Real C.D. España's player Ángel Tejeda was suspended for six games after spitting a fan during the Clásico Sampedrano against C.D. Marathón on week 14.[20] Former Real España's president Mateo Yibrín annotated on his Twitter account that the Discipline Commission are "social misfits".
  • Through Jorge Pineda (assistant for Héctor Vargas), C.D. Marathón announced their intention to protest the match against F.C. Motagua on week 7. This game, which ended 1–1 was postponed for several weeks. Marathón is alleging that Motagua's players Omar Elvir and Wilmer Crisanto were lined up in the reserves encounter a month prior.[21] Marathón had already protested the game against Juticalpa F.C. on week 4 with success.
  • The Apertura's final series between F.C. Motagua and Club Deportivo Olimpia were involved in controversies from start to finish. Before the first leg, the board of directors of Motagua expressed their discomfort for the designation of referee Héctor Rodríguez for the first leg, claiming they have felt harmed in previous games due to his controversial decisions against the club.[22] Rodríguez did finally refereed the game which was ironically criticized by Olimpia. Olimpia's coach Manuel Keosseián said in an interview he was not "a weepy", but contradictory, he called for a press conference the following day where he expressed his reasons why they lost in the first game, mostly blaming the referees.[23] Olimpia's defender Jonathan Paz was ejected from the first leg due to two successive yellow cards. The Discipline Commission, presided by Allan Pineda, a well known Olimpia supporter, called for a meeting and determined that Paz was severally penalized by the refs and nullified one of the bookings, enabling the defender to take part in the return leg.[24] The second match evolved with normality until the final whistle, as Motagua were celebrating their victory, Olimpia's coach Keosseián stroked a punch to one of Motagua's fan entertainer.[25]
  • On 14 March 2019, a very peculiar incident happened in the Clásico Nacional between Club Deportivo Olimpia and C.D. Marathón, as both teams goalkeepers were ejected from the match due to violent conduct. Both managers had already burnt all their substitutions; therefore, in the last few minutes of the game two outfield players had to cover the goalies.
  • In the early morning of 7 April 2019, C.D. Marathón's goalkeeper Dénovan Torres was arrested due to domestic violence.
