In a night that will be remembered for more than just goals, Derrickson Quirós gave CSD Xelajú MC supporters an unforgettable story that blended sport and romance in equal measure.
The Costa Rican midfielder, already a key figure in Xelajú’s lineup during the Clausura 2026 campaign, ensured fans walked away from their 4–2 victory over Deportivo Marquense with more than bragging rights, they witnessed one of the most heartfelt moments in recent football history.
At the Estadio Mario Camposeco in Quetzaltenango, where thousands gathered to see the Superchivos outplay Marquense and maintain their push up the Liga Nacional standings, Quirós had a surprise in store after the final whistle.
With the scoreline already settled in his team’s favour, the atmosphere was electric and love was about to take center stage.
As fans lingered in the stands, soaking up the glow of Xelajú’s commanding performance, Quirós asked his girlfriend, Wendy Nicole, to join him on the pitch.
Under what local media fondly described as the “Xelajú moon,” the Costa Rican dropped to one knee in front of a stunned crowd.
With a ring in hand, he proposed in a moment that paused the post-match celebrations and shifted all attention to a touchline of true emotion.
Supporters didn’t leave immediately after cheering the 4–2 result; instead, many stayed to witness the romantic proposal live, and erupted into applause when Wendy said yes.
The ovation that followed wasn’t just for a thrilled football outcome but for a love story unfolding right before the eyes of the community that passionately backs their team.
Social media quickly lit up with clips and photos of the unforgettable scene, with netizens across Guatemala, Costa Rica and beyond reacting to the unique blend of football passion and genuine affection.
Comments praised Quirós for sharing both his sporting success and personal joy with fans, turning an ordinary matchday into a narrative of celebration that transcended the sport itself.
For Xelajú MC, a club with a rich history and a loyal fanbase, the night will be talked about not only for the three points gained but also for reminding everyone that sometimes the most memorable moments in football happen off the scoresheet.
