Deportivo Marquense got on the night of April 20, 2025, after incidents in his stadium between sectors of local fans and alleged followers of Xelajú MC, defeating the national champion and maintaining, for at least a few more days, the illusion of continuing in the National League
From the 20th day of the Clausura 2025 several conclusions can be drawn, such as the Cobanero Triunfo on Achuapa that catapults the blue princes to the final phase of the tournament, as well as the worked duel that Mixco won on Xinabajul that allows chicharroneros to definitively leave the descent area.
However, by taking a positive and another negative appearance that occurred on the same date both leave the same party: the Marquense 1-0 Xelajú Mc held at the Marquise de la Ensenada.
This is due to two particular facts: the first is the goal of Óscar Linton, and the second, the riots in the stands.
In the previous Marquense vs Xelajú Mc the situation was already tense, since the vital result for the lions of San Marcos in their struggle not to lose the category.
Not winning the party means sentencing its descent to the First Division and the coincidences of life made the memory of the lions fans arrived the memory of the meeting held seven years ago between Marquense and Xelajú: on April 13, 2018 the superchive team sentenced the fall of the San Marcos team to the highest promotion league when he won 1-2.

Óscar Linton connected a lethal header that ended up using Marquense to defeat Xelajú and Thus wingedat least until I play against Municipal on Wednesday, April 23 Marquense’s permanence in the National League.
While in the negative aspect that stained the day are the incidents that were recorded precisely in the meeting between Marquense and Xelajú.
While the duel was suspended by a fog that forced it to be delayed for more than an hour, disturbances and incidents were reported in the stands of the stadium between local followers and alleged visitors who engaged in a fight, causing security elements to intervene in an attempt that the situation would not climb.
