Honduras still does not win and now falls to Colombia in a friendly game

Florida, United States.

The Honduran National Team continues without being able to win and on this occasion lost 2-1 to Colombia in a friendly played at the DRV PNK Stadium Fort Lauderdale.

The meeting served as preparation for both teams for what is coming at the end of this month in the qualifying rounds for the World Cup in Qatar.

The H has 11 games without winning and its last victory was in July 2021 when it beat Panama 3-2 in the Gold Cup.

The goals of the Colombian squad were scored by Juan Fernando Quintero and Andres Colorado, while for the Bicolor the midfielder was able to score by penalty Kervin Arriaga.

Honduras must forget the fall and now they must focus on what their matches will be that they will hold against Canada and El Salvador next January 27 and 30 for the Concacaf octagonal.

Colombia, which is fifth in the South American qualifying round, since it gives way to the playoffs towards the World Cup, will play on January 28 against Peru in Barranquilla and then will visit Argentina on February 1.

Actions

At the DRV PNK stadium, “Bolillo” Gómez faced Reinaldo Rueda, another experienced Colombian coach who led Honduras in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

La Bicolor presented an unusual 11 starters due to different casualties due to injury and positive cases of covid-19.

In the starting line-up were players like Diego Rodríguez who was placed as a side on the right wingIn addition to Juan Delgado in midfield and in attack, they formed a duo of Iván López and Eddie Hernández.

Reinaldo Rueda, for his part, proposed an offensive strategy from the beginning, betting on placing two midfielders as full-backs. Yerson Candelo (Atlético Nacional) and Freddy Hinestroza (Junior de Barranquilla) acted as spears on the sides for a team that set out to suffocate the rival from the opening whistle.

Juan Fernando Quintero, who recently announced his return to River Plate in Argentina, was the captain and satellite of a team made up mostly of players from the local league and Major League Soccer in the United States.

Quintero ended the drought of more than 450 minutes without shouting a goal from the Colombian squad thanks to an early goal (10).

The Colombian superiority diminished in the 42nd minute, when the scorer of the first goal of the match suffered physical discomfort and had to be replaced.

Complement

The H tried to take advantage of the absence of the Colombian star by keeping the ball and throwing deep balls.

In the 52nd minute, lefty Edwin Rodríguez received one of those long passes and was rammed from behind by Candelo. The referee awarded a penalty. One minute later Kervin Arriaga converted equality.

The joy of Honduras was short. In minute 67, the recently admitted Andrés Colorado scored the second for the coffee growers after a lack of concentration in the defensive sector of the Honduran team.

After the goal of the Colombian league champion with Deportivo Cali, the talented Rodríguez (Olimpia) and company did not enjoy clear opportunities again against the rival defense.
