The US came into Avaya Stadium needing three points against Honduras to start moving back to the World Cup qualifying spots of the Hex. Before the match, there was much talk of injuries, a new manager, and a defensively stout and speedy counter attacking Honduras team raising if not doubts, concerns that the script would not have a happy ending for the USA.
By the end of the night, the US had routed Honduras 6-0 in a dominant performance in all facets of the game.
The US came out early filled with energy against a Honduras side lined up in a 5-4-1 built to absorb pressure and break with speed on the counter.
