Honduras' opening game of the 2017 U-20 World Cup did nothing to alter the perception that Los Catrachos are playing for second in Group E, with France the clear favorite to win not just the group but also the tournament.
A confident 3-0 win was the sort of start to this competition that France wanted. Jean-Kevin Augustin opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a free kick. A deflection gave Amine Harit France's second in the 44th minute. Martin Terrier connected with a free kick to head home the third in the 80th minute.
