Final Score: Honduras 1 – Costa Rica 0

This Friday, October 11, 2013, it will be Honduras vs Costa Rica again, this time at the Metropolitan Olympic Stadium (Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano) in San Pedro Sula. Game time has been changed from 5:00 pm to 3:00 pm Honduras time (5 pm U.S. Eastern Standard Time).

Honduras’s La Selección coach, Luis Fernando Suárez, told reporters he expects “no surprises” in the match against Costa Rica. The only other thing Suarez expects is to be celebrating after the soccer match.

“I don’t know how I will celebrate, I just want to do it,” he said the to 8.5 million Hondurans who hope to achieve what would be the third classification for Honduras to the World Cup, after the Selección participated in the 1982 World Cup in Spain, and in the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

The general consensus is that Costa Rica will not put much pressure on Honduras, as they have already classified to participate in the World Cup. Honduras is third in the standings with 11 points. The United States is listed first in the classification, earning 16 points, followed by Costa Rica with 15.

Despite the overall confidence in the Honduran team, Suarez believes that they will have to play Costa Rica with “intelligence” and a “cool head”.

La Selección’s final game for the 2013 year will be held in Honduras at the San Pedro Sula Olympic Stadium on Tuesday October 15, 2013, against Jamaica.
