The first Scudetto awarded on the field at the time of the coronavirus is from Real Estelì, 2020 champion club of Nicaragua. The red and white, after the 1-1 of the first leg, went to win 3-1 on the field of Managua FC in the return match and won the title thanks to the goals of Rosas, Ayerdis and Lopez, while for the hosts Felix scored the flag goal in the final.
    At the end of the match, played behind closed doors, there were no celebrations on the pitch or even on the streets, because the authorities, local and football, had forbidden them. All those who were on the bench and on the sidelines wore masks, as did the journalists present. "But soon the day will come back when we will return to embrace each other and make us feel the passion for the colors we love in the most suitable place, the steps of a stadium", is written in a note released by the Nicaraguan 'Liga Primera'.
    But it must be said that many members of 'Pasion Azùl', an ultrà group from Managua made up of about eighty people, gathered in private homes to watch the game on television, thus giving rise to gatherings that in theory would have been avoided.
