Honduras defeated El Salvador 2-0 but had to survive 52 minutes with 10 players after one of its goalscorers was sent off.
Honduras striker Anthony Lozano scored and was sent off in the first half, as his team triumphed 2-0 over El Salvador in a friendly in Washington.
Lozano was at the center of just about everything in the opening 38 minutes Sunday at RFK Stadium, winning a penalty that led to Honduras gaining a 1-0 lead, scoring its second goal and then receiving a red card for appearing to hit an opponent in the face.
Despite the 22-year-old forward's expulsion, Honduras held on for victory in the first of their four friendlies ahead of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
