Neighbors Honduras and El Salvador meet in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday, almost exactly 40 years after the so-called “Football War”.
Honduras will host the match in San Pedro Sula where rivalry on the field will be intense, with both teams attempting to reach their first World Cup since 1982 and only one point separating them in the final stage of the CONCACAF tournament.
Honduras is fourth in the six-team group, with four points from four games. They are only one place below El Salvador who controversially beat Mexico 2-1 on Saturday with a late penalty.
The top three teams qualify directly for next year’s finals in South Africa, and the fourth will play off against the fifth team from South America, currently Uruguay, for another place.
