Honduras
El Salvador and Honduras take on each other at Estadio Cuscatlan in the North & Central America qualifier. El Salvador did well to hold Pulisic-less USA to a goalless draw in their opener, and they are now on a quest to record their first win of the process. FC Tulsa attacker Joaquin Rivas is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. Los Catrachos, on the other hand, shared the spoils with star-studded Canada in the opening match of their qualifying campaign.
Honduras will be without injured midfielder Alexander Lopez is Monday’s clash, but given their display in the draw with the Canucks, we are positive that the visitors will grab something from the match. Experienced Honduras attacker Jerry Bengtson has been left out of the squad. This will be the first meeting between the two national teams since 2019 when Honduras crushed El Salvador at the Gold Cup finals.
Highlighted Player (Andres Flores):
Nicknamed Ruso, Andres Flores joined River Plate youth academy in 2006. Flores played for River Plate’s Reserves from 2006 to 2008 and he was producing terrific displays with los Millonarios. However, he began his professional career in his homeland club Isidro Metapan, scoring ten goals in 95 appearances for the Salvadorian outfit. In 2012 he signed a loan deal with Danish club Viborg, but he played only one game for the Greens.
Andres Flores was then sent on a loan to New York Cosmos and after making eight appearances for the MCU Park outfit, he signed a permanent contract with the club in 2015. The El Salvador midfielder, who is capable of playing as a striker as well, made his debut for New York Cosmos on August 2, 2014 in a 1-0 loss to Carolina RailHawks.
Speaking of his international career, Andres Flores received his first call-up for the El Salvador national football team in March, 2008 in a friendly against Trinidad & Tobago.
Highlighted Team (Honduras):
Honduras are a national football team from Central America that qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time in 1982. Los Catrachos did well to share the spoils with hosts Spain at the showpiece tournament, but they eventually failed to book their place in the knockout stages.
Honduras participated at the 2010 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals as well, but they failed to impress at the tournaments in South Africa and Brazil. Winning of the 1981 CONCACAF Championship is undisputedly the team’s biggest success and it has to be noted that they finished the final round in top position in the standings, two points clear of El Salvador and three above Mexico.
Los Catrachos were beaten by Canada in the 1985 Gold Cup final, with the team finishing the 1991 tournament as runners-up as well. Wilson Palacios, who used to play for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City as regarded as one of the most notable footballers who represented Honduras national team on the international stage.
