Goals from Anthony Lozano and Bryan Rochez led Honduras to a 2-0 win against Mexico in the opener of a two-legged Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal series that will serve as a qualifier for next year's Copa America.
Hosted in Honduras' Estadio Nacional Chelato Ucles on Friday, the match first began with early complications for Mexico after an injury for goalkeeper and captain Guillermo Ochoa. Unable to continue in the first half, Ochoa was substituted out in the 22nd minute for backup Angel Malagon.
Problems for El Tri continued to escalate with the home side shortly finding the back after the substitution.
