Honduras 1-0 Mexico
Goals: Ricardo Osorio 51 (own goal)
Sven-Goran Eriksson's men needed to avoid defeat and hope that Jamaica didn't run up a cricket score against Canada in Kingston to
assure a place in the final round. On a waterlogged pitch in San Pedro Sula, they managed only to lose 1-0, after Ricardo Osorio knocked a cross from captain Amado Guevara into his own net.
Jamaica only managed a 3-0 win at their ‘Office,' so Mexico, despite picking up just one point from their last three games, move on. But the Swedish boss, should he manage to keep his job,
will
need to find a way to get more out of his boys, who lost their composure in the fading minutes and saw Gerardo Torrado and Carlos Vela ejectioned for spiteful fouls.
