Mexico moves closer to qualifying for the World Cup with away win in Honduras

It wasn’t pretty, but Mexico got a key victory in San Pedro Sula against Honduras by a 1-0 score. Mexico is assured of at least making the playoff, but barring a very rare circumstances on Wednesday, they should be qualified to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Even with the victory, Mexico didn’t play well and fans will be clamoring for improvement for Coach Gerardo Martino, who didn’t make the trip to Honduras as a medical procedure has him unable to fly. Mexico will close out their World Cup qualification in Estadio Azteca on Wednesday against El Salvador, while Honduras travels to Jamaica to end their campaign.
