The return leg finished goalless, but the two-leg record leaves Marathón ahead 2–1 on aggregate. A 0–0 result on this night therefore does not mean that progression remained unresolved or that a shoot-out was automatically required. The source identifies this as the second leg and records the visitors as winners of the overall tie.
The first-leg result is essential context: displaying only 0–0 would omit the decisive information. Return-leg attempts also remain separate from the first-leg goals, rather than attributing one game’s statistics to the entire tie. The phase label is retained as supplied and is not turned into a claim that Marathón have won the competition itself.
