San Salvador, El Salvador.
Guatemalan referee Walter López has been appointed as the central judge to whistle the match of the Honduran National Team against El Salvador, corresponding to the second day of the octagonal final of the CONCACAF road to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
López will be accompanied in quartet by his compatriots Juan Daniel Tipaz (assistant one), Luis Aroldo Ventura (assistant two) and Sergio Armando Reyna (fourth referee).
The 40-year-old sibilant has been a FIFA international since 2006. 17, in the qualifier for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and several international friendly matches.
He also led the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco, whistling in two matches, one of which was the final between Real Madrid and San Lorenzo de Almagro.
But Lopez has a tremendous stain on his career. Worth a ghost goal in the match of the final qualifying day in Russia-2018 between Panama and Costa Rica, giving both for good for the canaleros who thus got the ticket to the World Cup and incidentally sent in Honduras in the playoffs against Australia.
In addition, the United States was left out of the World Cup with this record.
