New coach, some new players, but the results remain the same. The Honduran National Team lost again in Jamaica. They fell 1-0 at the start of the Concacaf Nations League.
The road becomes uphill because there will no longer be any margin for error. Very little was shown by our team, who were even summoned by the Mexican referee Quintero who annulled a goal play for the home team after calling an offside that did not exist. Devron García enabled forward Demarai Gray who had sent her to save.
The duel had some touches from ours with mid-distance shots but nothing that could threaten the Caribbeans. A shot by Luis Palma that was sent to the corner kick by the Caribbean goalkeeper and a free kick shot looking for legs by Joseph Rosales, were what committed the Jamaican defense that scored zero in its frame in the first 45 minutes.
In the play that ended with a shot from Palma, everything is thanks to Luis Vega who yesterday returned to his initial position, left back. He ate up the left wing with depth and instead of sending a cross, he rejected it back for the Celtic player who was one of those who insisted the most.
The power of the Reggae Boys was noticeable in the physicality of some players. Andy Nájar tried some dribbles, but he crashed into Lowe and Pinnock who didn’t let him go over. Thus the game was diluted until the young Richards, one of the rookies, crashed the ball into Menjívar’s right post.
A NEGLECT AND A GOAL
Rueda sent the same men in the complement. The match had the same tone as the first, Rueda’s 4-4-2 formation was clearly visible, but Choco always received the ball with his back to the frame, making it impossible against the big rival defenders.
Palma once again had glory in his boots, but he wanted to do it with luxury. Choco Lozano received a ball from Nájar with his back to the goal, he looked up and watched the Celtic winger pass, he gave him a back-heel and when he headed towards the frame and looked at the goalkeeper’s exit, he hit it very high and forgave him. life. It was the clearest that the Bicolor had.
Rueda modified the team and took out the cautioned ones, Luis Vega and Bryan Acosta to bring in Ricky Zapata and Benguché, but they did not have the best of nights.

It was an attacking play by Honduras, Andy Nájar tried to make the individual and when he turned around, he had a double mark, he lost the ball to the mark of Amarii Bell who served the space to Demarai Gray who ran on a counterattack, feinted to get rid of Denil Maldonado and with a right hand and in complicity with the goalkeeper Menjívar scored.
The game had some sparks for our team, such as a shot by Rosales on a free kick that almost ended in an own goal, but really Honduras showed very little in its debut in the Nations League. We are still unable to win in Jamaica and now a schedule is coming up in which they must add all the points to avoid suffering.
