Sport: Mexico VS Honduras Football Match

 Mexico won Honduras (4-0) in their March on June 25 by 8pm ET at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.


But not everyone was celebrating as a lot of rumbles went down in the NRG parking lot. An eye witness was able to get the video as shown below:

However, under new interim manager Jaime Lozano, Mexico put on a show in a 4-0 demolition of lowly Honduras in their 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup opener.


The embarrassing 3-0 loss to the USA in the Nations League semifinal led to the firing of manager Diego Cocca, and the appointment of interim Jaime Lozano, who changed the attitude of the team ahead of this first Gold Cup match.

It was a new-look Mexico that came out on the attack, scoring after just 55 seconds from the start of the match. Midfielder Luis Romo smashed home a loose ball for the first goal, and then he scored Mexico's second in the 23rd minute by heading home on a set-piece play.


In the second half, an electric Orbelin Pineda went on a sensational run to make it 3-0, before Luis Chavez took advantage of a favorable deflection to poke home a fourth goal on a magical night for El Tri.

Thanks to the lopsided win, Mexico jump to the top spot in Group B ahead on goal difference over Haiti, who won their match over Gold Cup guest team Qatar, 2-1. Mexico and Haiti will face off on Thursday.

Honduras looked every bit the team that finished in last place in 2022 World Cup qualifying, but they still have a chance to rebound in group play with matches against Qatar and Haiti coming up next.
