Honduras edge closer as Mexico slump

October 12, 2008

Honduras moved a step closer to a place in the 2010 World Cup Finals with a 3-1 victory over Canada, a result which eliminates Canada from the tournament.

Elsewhere in the group, Mexico suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by Jamaica, keeping alive the Reggae Boyz slims hopes of making the finals.

Walter Martinez gave Honduras the lead in the seventh minute but Andres Hailnault equalized for Canada in the 52nd minute.

Carlo Costly put Honduras ahead to stay in the 60th minute and Hendrik Thomas added an insurance goal in stoppage time to seal the triumph.

Two teams will qualify for the next phase of the qualifying, most likely Honduras and Mexico.
