Honduras was the first to score but after three unanswered goals by French Guiana, Honduras' qualification for the Gold Cup looks to be jeopardy. Playing in front of 3500 home fans, French Guiana treated them to the win and the hope that their team could qualify for the Gold Cup for the first time ever.
Jerry Bengtson scored to put Honduras on the board first in the 17th minute of the game. Eight minutes later French Guiana got on the board and followed it up with a second goal two minutes later. A third goal in the 61st minute put the game out of reach for Honduras.
