The second goal of Honduras a USA, in a match valid for the semifinals of the Pre-Olympic, was the work of Luis Palma, who took advantage of a clamorous error by goalkeeper David Ochoa to extend the advantage of the ‘Catrachos’ at the Jalisco stadium in Guadalajara in Mexico.
As the images show, when they ran for 47 minutes and Honduras was already winning with Obregón’s goal, Palma pressed Ochoa’s exit and caused the United States goalkeeper to make a mistake. In this way the 2-0 of the ‘H’ arrived and the scorer celebrated as Cristiano Ronaldo.
When everything indicated that Honduras would keep the game under control after getting 2-0 up at the beginning of the second half, Jackson Yueill appeared almost by surprise in the field of the ‘Catrachos’ to put the United States 1-2 with a powerful long shot distance at 52 minutes.
