By Rubén Morales Iglesias: In a scintillating match that lived up to every bit of its pre-game hype, Napoles FC edged Duck Run 2 FC 3-2 in the inaugural Oscar Mira Belmopan Cup Final at a ram-packed Isidoro Beaton Stadium on Thursday night. The Napoles crowd erupted in the 88th minute as Krismar Martinez delivered the match-winner, with a tap within the box to deliver the championship.

From kickoff, both teams displayed relentless energy and grit, each determined to claim the $4,000 championship prize. Napoles FC, coming off a confident 2-0 semifinal win over Las Flores, looked sharp early, while Duck Run 2 FC, who survived a nail-biting shootout against Wingz Police FC, fought fiercely to keep pace.

The final was a back-and-forth affair, with momentum swinging wildly between both sides. As the clock ticked down, it seemed extra time might be on the horizon—until Martinez stepped up and turned the tide.

With this hard-fought win, Napoles FC not only lifted the coveted trophy but also made a bold statement as Belmopan’s newest champions. Duck Run 2 FC, though falling short, walked away with $2,000 and the respect of fans who witnessed their valiant journey.

Football fever is firmly rooted in the capital—and after a final like that, it’s easy to see why.
