After five minutes Honduras began to have control of the game. It was until the 14th minute that El Salvador was able to pass half of the track. The first danger of the azulita was in the 17’d where Jose Villalobos almost connects with the head a centered one from a free shot. After 25 minutes the game had no chance of getting a clearance. Both teams were playing midfield.

A little hope for the azulita who needed to win to have it easier on the last date.
In the 81st minute El Salvador was miraculously saved, first González covered a shot with his face, the rebound was left to Joan Carles Obregón sent the ball to the top post when he was left alone in front of goal. In the end the Selecta still had the last in the discount with Marvin Márquez who sent it up. Everything remains for the last date to see who qualifies in group B in the semifinals of the Pre-Olympic.
