Mexico thumps Honduras, takes commanding lead in Hex

If it was not obvious already, it surely is now. Mexico is the team to beat in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying.

El Tri defeated Honduras, 3-0, on Thursday night at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium to move five points clear of second-place Costa Rica on the Hexagonal table at the midway point of the final round.

Mexico began the game slowly, and memories of Honduras' last visit to Mexico for a WCQ game surely crept into minds of the home fans. In 2013, Honduras took all the points with a 2-1 victory.

That did not happen on Thursday.
