The United States hammered Honduras 3-0 on Wednesday for a much-needed three points in World Cup qualifying. After getting off to a sluggish start in its 2-0 loss to Canada on Sunday, the United States played with a sense of urgency from the outset to put Honduras on the back foot. With three games to go in qualifying, the United States is in second place behind Canada with 21 points in the eight-team CONCACAF group. The United States is trying to reach the World Cup after missing out on Russia in 2018, while winless Honduras had already been eliminated coming into the match.
