A horrific incident occurred in the Honduran professional soccer league where a player's ankle was twisted during a match.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 13th (local time) that "Honduran Motagua's Brazilian-born striker Homarío da Silva (36) suffered a severe ankle injury during a Primera División match against Olanchito FC."

The accident occurred in the 56th minute of the second half. Da Silva attempted to intercept a pass from opposing attacker Malon Ramirez, but in the process, his left foot caught on the grass, causing him to lose balance. With his body weight fully bearing down on his left ankle, the incident resulted in a complete twisting of the ankle.

The injury was extremely severe. Medical personnel were immediately dispatched to the field, and teammates watching in shock were moved to tears. Local media described the scene at the time as "the ankle was barely hanging on by the sock."

Da Silva was eventually substituted for Javier Lopez and carried off the field on a stretcher. A detailed examination confirmed a broken ankle, and recovery and return to play are expected to take between six and eight months. As a result, Da Silva will be unable to participate in any remaining matches of this season.

Meanwhile, the match ended with Motagua defeating Olanchito FC 2-0, maintaining the scoreline that existed before the incident.
