The most anticipated game of the day ended with controversy and frustration. Marquense and Municipal tied 0-0 in a meeting that promised emotions, but ended up marked by the decisions of the arbitration quartet, which annulled two legitimate goals, directly influencing the final result.
From the beginning, both teams showed intensity and made it clear that the fight for the lead was at stake. Municipal, who arrived as a leader with 17 points, sought to consolidate at the top, while Marquense, with 15 units, had the opportunity to give a blow of authority at home.
The first controversial moment of the game came in the first half, when Marquense managed to open the score. However, the referee annulled the annotation for an assumption out of place, although in the repetition it was observed that the position was legitimate. The decision generated discomfort in the local team and in his hobby, which soon manifests his discontent.
Municipal also had his opportunities, but he found a well -planted defense of the lions and with a hostile atmosphere in the Marquise de la Ensenada. Despite the attempts to find spaces, the scarlet team failed to break the zero in the first part.
In the second half, the controversy was again the protagonist. César Archila, from Municipal, took a powerful long distance auction, and although the ball clearly crossed the goal line, the referee decided that he had not entered, leaving without effect what could have been the goal of the victory for the Reds.
The repetitions showed clearly that the ball had entered, but the arbitration error left the marker intact. The frustration was evident in the Municipal players, who unsuccessfully claimed the decision.

The rest of the party passed with intensity, but without more clear opportunities. Both teams tried to look for the goal of the triumph, but the lack of precision and fatigue caused the score not to move.
With the final 0-0, Municipal continues in the first place, reaching 18 points in the tournament and staying as a solo leader. Marquense, on the other hand, goes up to second place with 16 units, surpassing Antigua GFC for a goal difference.
Beyond the tie, what the game left was a new arbitration controversy, which will generate discussion in the next few days. The errors in the canceled goals marked the development of the game and left both teams dissatisfied, which now must focus on what comes in the tournament.
