The USMNT picked up a point in San Pedro Sula, drawing Honduras 1-1 in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. Honduras took advantage at home, dictating pace and taking the lead through Romell Quioto in the 27th minute. It took time and substitutions for the USMNT to find an equalizer. Bobby Wood scored in the 85th, taking advantage of a scramble in front of goal. Honduras finished a man down with a second yellow to Henry Figueroa three minutes into stoppage time.

Honduras and the USMNT remain tied on points with the USMNT ahead on the goal difference tiebreaker. The USMNT dropped to 4th-place in the Hexagonal standings with Panama passing them following their 3-0 home shutout of Trinidad & Tobago. Costa Rica and Mexico drew 1-1 in San Jose. The USMNT opens October’s qualifying schedule in Orlando against Panama, trailing them by a point and a goal for the final automatic qualification spot.
