## Controversies

On 14 April 1991, C.D. Victoria lost at home to C.D. Olimpia on week 1 with a 3–5 score. The game was later protested by Victoria due to the inclusion of Antonio Hernández in the Olimpia's lineup. Hernández, who had been sent off in the last game of the previous season, was inactive for one game. After two months of uncertainty, the Discipline Board decided to ignore Victoria's claim after they received a notification from Olimpia stating that Hernández complied with the suspension in an off-season friendly.
