Honduras boss Jorge Luis Pinto has accused Australia of intentionally spying on his team by using a drone ahead of Wednesday's World Cup inter-confederation play-off.

A spot at the 2018 World Cup in Russia is up for grabs and tensions are high between both sides, especially after the Honduras head coach's assertions relating to the spotting of a drone at a training session in Sydney on Monday.

The Socceroos – who were held to a 0-0 draw in the first-leg of the play-off in San Pedro Sula – insisted the unmanned aerial device was innocently operated by a family at a neighbouring park next to ANZ Stadium.
