Mexico 3-0 Honduras
Even the most casual football betting fan can see that Honduras were grossly outclassed by Mexico, and this qualifying game cemented El Tri’s spot at the top of the CONCACAF side of the World Cup qualifiers. Mexico are probably impossible to push off the top at this point, even with five more rounds of football games to go.
The nation favoured by betting websites won the match 3-0 despite not fielding many of their best players. Javier Hernandez sat down the entire game and left the fate of Mexico’s undefeated run to his team-mates.
The Mexicans took control of the match but failed to score until the 34th minute, when Oswaldo Alanis sent the ball into the goal from a corner. One may think that the game is set and done by then, but props should be given to Jorge Pinto and the rest of the Hondurans for braving the storm for another thirty minutes.
It was in the second half that Mexico would kill off the game for everybody. A fantastic lob from Hector Herrera gave Hirving Lozano a one-on-one with Donis Escober. The keeper went off his line, which Lozano quickly took as an opportunity to run past him and score the second goal. Raul Jimenez didn’t let up as well, beating Escobar in another one-on-one to score the third goal three minutes later.
This big easy victory now puts Mexico five points clear of second-place Costa Rica. Mexico are set to book their tickets to Russia with five matches to go. Meanwhile, Panama will be praying that the United States will slip in their next games to get out of the precarious intercontinental play-off position.
