Honduras can book a place in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the final of the CONCACAF U-20 Championship with a win in this match. That will be a little easier said than done, perhaps, since Costa Rica is the home team and surely has its own ambition of recovering its standing in this tournament after a lackluster group stage.
Los Ticos were surprisingly beaten by El Salvador in their first game of the competition, and were briefly trailing Bermuda in their last game of the group stage. But this tournament has been full of surprises - the USA's 1-0 win over Mexico being merely the most recent.
